First she wore one of forgetme-nots, then of rosebuds, then of Provence roses, then dahlias, then poppies, and at last, grape-vines and leaves in all the gorgeous tints of autumn. And while the one wreath gave place to the other, the one year passed away after the other. At last she wore a wreath of pure gold leaves ; but there were now silver lines in her beautiful tresses. She had not had time to attend to her myrtle. It had meanwhile pined away, withered, and died. what more than a brother's share of her heart; but if so.it remained a secret. When lie began to recover, and assured her every day how much he had to thank her for, she felt so happy that she scarcely dared to confess it to herself, and each time she looked at hor myrtle she was conscious of a strange but delicious feeling. It was the myrtle which had been the cause of the disaster, and she chose to consider it as the cause of her own happiness. At last, having fully recovered, he left the manor and returned to the city. He was to rea'd for his examination degree.

It must be watching you has set The little daisy-buds to crying! Mark Twain tells the following story of early life in the Sandwich Islands : In the rural districts of the islands the traveler hourly comes upon patties of dusky maidens bathing in the streams or in the sea without any clothing on, and in no very intemperate ze d in the matter of hiding their nakedness. When the missionaries first took up their residence in Honolulu the native women would pay their families frequent friendly visits day by day not even clothed with a blush. It was found a hard matter to convince them that this was rather indelicate. Finally the missionaries provided them with long loose calico robes, and that ended the difficulty, for the women would troop through the town stark naked with their robes folded under their arms, march to the missionary houses, and then proceed to dress. The natives soon manifested a strong proclivity for clothing, bnt it was shortly apparent that they only wanted it for grandeur. The missionaries imported a quantity of hats, bonnets, and other male and female wearing apparel, instituted a genera! distribution, and begged the people not to come to church next Sunday naked, as usual. And they did not; but the national spirit of unselfishness led them to divide up with their neighbors who were not at the distribution, and next Sabbath the poor preachers could hardly keep countenance before their vast congregations. In the midst of the reading of the hymn a lipnwn, stately dame would sweep up the aisle with a world of airs, with nothing in the world on but a "stovepipe" hat and a pair of cheap gloves ; another would enter with a flourish, with simply the sleeves of the bright calico dress tied around her waist, and the rest of the garment dragging behind like a peacock's tail off duty ; another was attired in a man's shirt; a stately "buck " Kanaka would stalk in with a woman's bonnet on, wrong part before, only this and nothing more; after him would stride his fellow with the legs of a pair of pantaloons around his neck, the rest of bis person untrammelled ; in his rear would come another gentleman simply gotten up in a fiery necktie and a striped waistcoat. The poor creatures were beaming with complacency and wholly unconscious of any absurdity in their appears ance. The spectacle which the congregation presented was so extraordinary, and withal so moving, that the missionaries found it difficult to keep to the text and go on with the sermon ; and by and by when the children of the sun began a general swapping of garments in the open meeting, and produced some irresistibly grotesque effects in the course of redressing, there was nothing for it but to cut the thing short with the benediction and dismiss the fantastic assemblage.

"That is the way with all of us," she sighed, glancing at the mirror. The myrtle was then thrown out into the yard among the rubbish.

The old lady was already busy in the kitchen, the young girl sat at the window gazing anxiously but happily down the road whence her bridegroom was to come. The three little sisters lay wide awake in their little cots; they had hardly closed their eyes the whole night, thinking of the spleador which the day was to bring. Each time the squire returned home from a visit in the town, he seldom failed to bring the governess a kind rememberance from her patient, the student adding —'• I say nothing, for I have no permission to say what I might say, but I know what I knowand each time he delivered himself of this sententious remark, a blush would mantle the young girl's freckled cheeks.

The tiny basket was billed with sprigs of myrtle, (of which the bridal wreath is made.in Denmark). At noon the three little ones were seen standing on the little hillock at the end of the garden. They were dressed in their Sunday clothes, and kept watch to let their sister know when the mail coach should come in sight on the hill, or report the first blast of the conductor's horn.

A strange, half-defined remembrance from her childhood flashed through her thoughts. She did not exchange very many words with him the first evening, but still enough to cause her to sleep but little that night. Next evening a little ball was improvised. Some friends, and among them the sister of the squire's lady, an acknowledged belle from the capital had aVrived in the course of the day. As a reigning ball queen, and near relation to the lady of the manor, the professor deemed it his duty to open the ball with her.

S (iraduatjiiK Tnitfs It is curious enough that myrtle cannot be made to flourish in a bachelor's apartment. Whether it ig the heat from the close stove in winter, or the drought in summer, whether it is the tobacco smoke, or for what other reason, one thing is sure, that myrtles do not thrive very satisfactorily, particularly when they have to continue the struggle for half a score of years, likc.this poor mrytie. There is a kind of disease called honeydew, for the reason that all the leaves of a tree which it attacks become covered with a sweetish adhesive juice like honey or syrup. That disease now seized upon the myrtle of the engaged couple. The leaves got stuck together, and dust and dirt covered thein. In time it became im possible to decide whether they were green or grey. It was a pitiful sight. The lovers finally did not know any more what they were to do with it, but then the old woman died, and they got something else to think of. They had to separate, and however hard it was to confess it, they were both convinced that it was for ever. No such an engagement could of course come to anything.

They will last many years without change. and are warranted superior to all others, manufactured by A night watchman in Mr. John N. Stearns's silk manufactory, in East Forty-second street, near Third avenue, N. Y., heard the rap of a club on the door of the warehouse a few nights since. " Who is there ?" inquired Shelly. "An officer," replied a voice. " What do you want ?" " Open the door ; there are two thieves in your building." Mr. Shelly, distrusting the man, opened the door slightly and cautiously. Instantly three men, one in the garb of a policeman, and the other two in civilian's dress, with masks, made a rush and burst it in. The spurious policeman struck the watchman twice on the head with his club, while his two confederates clapped a pair of bracelets on his wrists, having drawn his hands behind his back. The burglars then tied a rope around his legs and thrust a gag into his mouth. They carried him to the 'middle of the buiLIing, and having laid him on the floor one of them kept guard. The burglar in police uniform then said : " Watchman, we don't want to hurt you, but we want to show boss Stearns what we can do. The burglar on guard very considerately gathered some old rags together and put them under the watchman's head for a pillow. Two of the thieves then started on a tour through the factory in quest of booty, and carried off about 52,000 worth of unfinished silk. The burglar in policeman's dress stripped off and left the uniform, together with a sledge-hammer and jimmy, behind him. The thieves left the door open, and the watchman was discovered early in the morning. It took three hours to file off his handcuffs. The police think that this is another job of the Nineteenth Ward gang of thieves. Mr. Stearns was very fortunate that the thieves did not call the night previous, as in that case'they would have secured about $8,000 worth of finished goods. As it was, the burglars, in their haste, passed over SI,500 worth of made silk, and secured the unfinished material, which it will be veiy difficult for them to sell. PAIRING.

The sound of gay laughter and many voices rose up to her, but hi* voice she could not distinguish among the others. Presently she became aware of a whispering immediately below her at the toot of the tower. A young couple had separated from the rest of the company ; it was the professor and the lovely city lady. What they whispered about—alas! that the poor governess understood but too well. That night she did not sleep at all. In the fall of the same year a grand marriage took place in the eld manor. A lovlier bride than the professor's had never been seen before. The governess had made the bridal wreath; of her myrtle nothing but the stems and stalks remained; the bride wore all the green part in her hair, as she stood before the allar. It was indeed a costly wreath—it sparkled as if it were full of diamonds. Sewing Machine Line. IN THE THE BRANDENBURG BAKERY.

Country air is wholesome and fresh. The young girl soon felt herself at home in her new place. There was more to hear and more to do than she had been used to, but a willing horse draws a heavy load, and what comes through one ear may pass out at the other, which two old sayings she laid to heart, and felt tolerably contented with her lot. Her myrtle had a good deal better time than she had. It was installed in a little turret chamber, which went by the name of the maiden's bower. There it stood the livelong summer day on the siJl of the open window, and looked down into the garden, rejoiced in the morniHk sun and evening dew, heard ths songs of birds, received visits from bees and butterflies.

How to Eat an Orange.—Brazil is a gr«at country for oranges, and tlie Brazilians know how to eat the delicious fruit. To enjoy an orange thoroughly, says one of the newspaper correspondents in Professor Agassiz's present expedition, you Should eat in Brazilian fashion : You slice a segment of the flower end deep enough to go completely through the skin ; then replacing tho segment, thrust a fork through it to the very centre of the orange, if the tines are long enough. Holding the fork in your left hand, peel the orange with a very sharp small table knife, slicing all the skin off, the segment at the base of the fork being in this operation a shield to prevent any danger of cutting the left thumb. Now, with two cuts of the knife dissect out the pulp of one of the pockets and convey it to the mouth. Follow this np, pocket by pocket, and „ the skins of the pockets remain on the fork, like the leaves of a book open until the covers touch. — San Francisco BuiUtin. of all kinds, such as he nas supplied his cus tomers with for ninny years, and added preatly to the capacity of his establiuhment, to meet his increasing trade He is now, better than ever before, able to do all for any customer that low prices and prompt service can do to make up an inducement for purchasing.

Thus he estimates that during the spring of last year the value of the stones discovered did not exceed 8225,- 000 per mouth, while at the various camps no less than 30,030 people were engaged, either as diggers, or in supplying the wants of the diggers. Since then, however, the supply his been tripled, owing to the discovery of a small field of extraordinary richness. Nearly four-fifths of the whole amount of diamonds discovered, come, it is calculated, from a little hillock of only 20 acres in extent, to which half the mining population has flocked. Under these circumstances, it is not probable that the present extraordinary yield mil be long maintained, depending, as it does on * casual "find," and not on the average richness of the fields. of different varieties at the lowest market priees.

First she wore one of forgetme-nots, then of rosebuds, then of Provence roses, then dahlias, then poppies, and at last, grape-vines and leaves in all the gorgeous tints of autumn. And while the one wreath gave place to the other, the one year passed away after the other. At last she wore a wreath of pure gold leaves ; but there were now silver lines in her beautiful tresses. She had not had time to attend to her myrtle. It had meanwhile pined away, withered, and died. what more than a brother's share of her heart; but if so.it remained a secret. When lie began to recover, and assured her every day how much he had to thank her for, she felt so happy that she scarcely dared to confess it to herself, and each time she looked at hor myrtle she was conscious of a strange but delicious feeling. It was the myrtle which had been the cause of the disaster, and she chose to consider it as the cause of her own happiness.

It must be watching you has set The little daisy-buds to crying! Mark Twain tells the following story of early life in the Sandwich Islands : In the rural districts of the islands the traveler hourly comes upon patties of dusky maidens bathing in the streams or in the sea without any clothing on, and in no very intemperate ze d in the matter of hiding their nakedness. When the missionaries first took up their residence in Honolulu the native women would pay their families frequent friendly visits day by day not even clothed with a blush. It was found a hard matter to convince them that this was rather indelicate. Finally the missionaries provided them with long loose calico robes, and that ended the difficulty, for the women would troop through the town stark naked with their robes folded under their arms, march to the missionary houses, and then proceed to dress. The natives soon manifested a strong proclivity for clothing, bnt it was shortly apparent that they only wanted it for grandeur. The missionaries imported a quantity of hats, bonnets, and other male and female wearing apparel, instituted a genera! distribution, and begged the people not to come to church next Sunday naked, as usual. And they did not; but the national spirit of unselfishness led them to divide up with their neighbors who were not at the distribution, and next Sabbath the poor preachers could hardly keep countenance before their vast congregations. In the midst of the reading of the hymn a lipnwn, stately dame would sweep up the aisle with a world of airs, with nothing in the world on but a "stovepipe" hat and a pair of cheap gloves ; another would enter with a flourish, with simply the sleeves of the bright calico dress tied around her waist, and the rest of the garment dragging behind like a peacock's tail off duty ; another was attired in a man's shirt; a stately "buck " Kanaka would stalk in with a woman's bonnet on, wrong part before, only this and nothing more; after him would stride his fellow with the legs of a pair of pantaloons around his neck, the rest of bis person untrammelled ; in his rear would come another gentleman simply gotten up in a fiery necktie and a striped waistcoat. The poor creatures were beaming with complacency and wholly unconscious of any absurdity in their appears ance. The spectacle which the congregation presented was so extraordinary, and withal so moving, that the missionaries found it difficult to keep to the text and go on with the sermon ; and by and by when the children of the sun began a general swapping of garments in the open meeting, and produced some irresistibly grotesque effects in the course of redressing, there was nothing for it but to cut the thing short with the benediction and dismiss the fantastic assemblage.

The old lady was already busy in the kitchen, the young girl sat at the window gazing anxiously but happily down the road whence her bridegroom was to come. The three little sisters lay wide awake in their little cots; they had hardly closed their eyes the whole night, thinking of the spleador which the day was to bring. Each time the squire returned home from a visit in the town, he seldom failed to bring the governess a kind rememberance from her patient, the student adding —'• I say nothing, for I have no permission to say what I might say, but I know what I knowand each time he delivered himself of this sententious remark, a blush would mantle the young girl's freckled cheeks.

S (iraduatjiiK Tnitfs It is curious enough that myrtle cannot be made to flourish in a bachelor's apartment. Whether it ig the heat from the close stove in winter, or the drought in summer, whether it is the tobacco smoke, or for what other reason, one thing is sure, that myrtles do not thrive very satisfactorily, particularly when they have to continue the struggle for half a score of years, likc.this poor mrytie. There is a kind of disease called honeydew, for the reason that all the leaves of a tree which it attacks become covered with a sweetish adhesive juice like honey or syrup. That disease now seized upon the myrtle of the engaged couple. The leaves got stuck together, and dust and dirt covered thein. In time it became im possible to decide whether they were green or grey. It was a pitiful sight. The lovers finally did not know any more what they were to do with it, but then the old woman died, and they got something else to think of. They had to separate, and however hard it was to confess it, they were both convinced that it was for ever. No such an engagement could of course come to anything.

They will last many years without change. and are warranted superior to all others, manufactured by A night watchman in Mr. John N. Stearns's silk manufactory, in East Forty-second street, near Third avenue, N. Y., heard the rap of a club on the door of the warehouse a few nights since. " Who is there ?" inquired Shelly. "An officer," replied a voice. " What do you want ?" " Open the door ; there are two thieves in your building." Mr. Shelly, distrusting the man, opened the door slightly and cautiously. Instantly three men, one in the garb of a policeman, and the other two in civilian's dress, with masks, made a rush and burst it in. The spurious policeman struck the watchman twice on the head with his club, while his two confederates clapped a pair of bracelets on his wrists, having drawn his hands behind his back. The burglars then tied a rope around his legs and thrust a gag into his mouth. They carried him to the 'middle of the buiLIing, and having laid him on the floor one of them kept guard. The burglar in police uniform then said : " Watchman, we don't want to hurt you, but we want to show boss Stearns what we can do. The burglar on guard very considerately gathered some old rags together and put them under the watchman's head for a pillow. Two of the thieves then started on a tour through the factory in quest of booty, and carried off about 52,000 worth of unfinished silk. The burglar in policeman's dress stripped off and left the uniform, together with a sledge-hammer and jimmy, behind him. The thieves left the door open, and the watchman was discovered early in the morning. It took three hours to file off his handcuffs. The police think that this is another job of the Nineteenth Ward gang of thieves. Mr. Stearns was very fortunate that the thieves did not call the night previous, as in that case'they would have secured about $8,000 worth of finished goods. As it was, the burglars, in their haste, passed over SI,500 worth of made silk, and secured the unfinished material, which it will be veiy difficult for them to sell. PAIRING.

The sound of gay laughter and many voices rose up to her, but hi* voice she could not distinguish among the others. Presently she became aware of a whispering immediately below her at the toot of the tower. A young couple had separated from the rest of the company ; it was the professor and the lovely city lady. What they whispered about—alas! that the poor governess understood but too well. That night she did not sleep at all. In the fall of the same year a grand marriage took place in the eld manor. A lovlier bride than the professor's had never been seen before. The governess had made the bridal wreath; of her myrtle nothing but the stems and stalks remained; the bride wore all the green part in her hair, as she stood before the allar.

Country air is wholesome and fresh. The young girl soon felt herself at home in her new place. There was more to hear and more to do than she had been used to, but a willing horse draws a heavy load, and what comes through one ear may pass out at the other, which two old sayings she laid to heart, and felt tolerably contented with her lot. Her myrtle had a good deal better time than she had. It was installed in a little turret chamber, which went by the name of the maiden's bower. There it stood the livelong summer day on the siJl of the open window, and looked down into the garden, rejoiced in the morniHk sun and evening dew, heard ths songs of birds, received visits from bees and butterflies.

Holding the fork in your left hand, peel the orange with a very sharp small table knife, slicing all the skin off, the segment at the base of the fork being in this operation a shield to prevent any danger of cutting the left thumb. Now, with two cuts of the knife dissect out the pulp of one of the pockets and convey it to the mouth. Follow this np, pocket by pocket, and „ the skins of the pockets remain on the fork, like the leaves of a book open until the covers touch. — San Francisco BuiUtin. of all kinds, such as he nas supplied his cus tomers with for ninny years, and added preatly to the capacity of his establiuhment, to meet his increasing trade He is now, better than ever before, able to do all for any customer that low prices and prompt service can do to make up an inducement for purchasing.

MAKING are of the best of the qualities represented and Not Flattering.—A correspondent who has recently returned to England from th® South African diamond-fields gives a very discouraging account of the place. Thus he estimates that during the spring of last year the value of the stones discovered did not exceed 8225,- 000 per mouth, while at the various camps no less than 30,030 people were engaged, either as diggers, or in supplying the wants of the diggers. Since then, however, the supply his been tripled, owing to the discovery of a small field of extraordinary richness. Nearly four-fifths of the whole amount of diamonds discovered, come, it is calculated, from a little hillock of only 20 acres in extent, to which half the mining population has flocked. Under these circumstances, it is not probable that the present extraordinary yield mil be long maintained, depending, as it does on * casual "find," and not on the average richness of the fields. of different varieties at the lowest market priees.

He was in a good social position, and kept house on a grand scale, fully as grand as his means would allow; and he spared no expense in the education of his adopted daughter. She was taught to dance, and sing, and to play; had masters in French and English, and1 a maid t* wait upon her. Her myrtle experienced a similar good fortune. It grew now in a golden pot, perhaps not of genuine gold, but still a gilded porcelain pot. It was watered each morning by her maid with rain water, and each evening by the young gentlemen with compliments. They all had something gallant to say about the flourishing myrtle. Pittston.
