IT IS to be seen often enough in Cen-tral
Park.
He, pale, emancipated; one of
those men who carry a ticket for
Charon's ferry boat in his pocket, and
is only loitering a little by the way.
She, as full of life as the lilac near
which they sit; grateful to the eye in
her beauty as they to the sense in their
fragrance. He the weakness, she the
strength of the partnership. She as
upright as a tall lily stem, with health
to pay time full rent through a long
life; he, stooping painfully over the two
sticks that prop up his nerveless body.
Those are the crutches. Now for the
idyl.
There was a feverishness of life in
New York city. North and South had
grappled by the throat. War was
whipping the tops of commerce until
they hummed agsin. The government
cried "Give! give!" and merchant,
manufacturer and artisan toiled and
moiled. Even man as man had a
valve in the market; flesh and blood
was dear.
A youth and a girl met at the
church door and strolled away to-gether.
In the course of the service—
for it was the Sabbath day—the minis-ter
had invoked the divine blessing up-on
the Federal arms, and made a
passionate appeal to the congregation
to aid with purse and person to keep
intact the grand old flag, that not a
star should be rent from the Union,
not one stripe from its field. And
hearts had throbbed and eyes had well-ed
over with tears that morning. There
were dollars for the wounded and
yolunteers for the war in that sermon.
" Is it true that you have bought a
substitute, Edgar?"
It was the girl who spoke, as the
pair turned up Lexington ayenue.
" Um !" and Edgar nodded his head
affirmatively. " A German who
thought his body and bones worth
$1,000."
She looked straight before her, kick-ing
the point of her parasol with her
boot tips as she walked.
" The last steamer brought 500 emi-grants,
Georgia. The price of substi-tutes
will go down a bit. It is a pity
did not wait a little."
" Yes, it is."
She said this quite seriously, and
stopped before the door of the house
she lived in.
" Well, don't look so serious about
it," he added, cheerfully. "I have put
i ¡1,000 to a worse use before now,
Georgia."
" Never in your life, Edgar."
" E h !"
" Never in your life, I say, Edgar."
She jumped up two steps, and then
turned to confront him. "All the
substitutes will be gone after a while,
and then they'll have to call upon us
girls to go to the war. If I were draft-ed,
I'd not buy a substitute; I'd go."
" I understand, you," said he slowly,
and leaning against the pilaster. "You
love your country more than all be-sides—
eh, Georgia ?"
She looked down at him with a half
perplexed expression in her hazel-colored
eyes; and just then some leaves
from the creeper that clambered the
front of the house came fluttering to
the ground between them. Stooping,
she picked a red one up, and held it up
to him t y way of diversion. ' I s not
that a beautiful color ?"
" It is red—a very suggestive one
ju3t now, and quite apropos of our con-versation,
Georgia. Give it to me.
That will be a leave-taking, won't it V'
There was a tone of bitterness in his
voice; it was not hard tc see that he
was angry.
"You understand me in part, Edgar.
It is the worst part that you under-stand;
the better escapes you,"
"No, I think not, Georgia." He
pushed his hat back from his face and
gazed steadily at her. "You believe
honestly that it is on my account, for
my good name, that you are solicitous.
Come, now, some of your girl friends
have been twitting you with my in-glorious
proclivities for a whole skin,
contrasting the patriotic nobleness of
their sweethearts with the selfish pusil-lanimity
of yours. The thought has
grown up in your brain that by and by
it will be said to you, ' Your husband
bought a substitute when he was draft-sd;
you married a man who, when old
and young were going to the war.
sheltered himself behind his dollars.
Well, now, Georgia, listen to me."
" Stop a moment, Edgar. Tell me.
haye you never felt any of this for
yourselt? No one has twitted me MS
you say, but I have thought, not in
my brain but iu my heart, where all
my thoughts of you grow, Edgar"—
her cheek flushed, but she spoke reso-lutely,—"
that hereafter men may twit
you, and you in turn may twit me, be-cause
when our country cried out loud-ly,
and fathers and brothers, aye, even
to the very school-lads, took their lives
in their hands and answered the cry,
I perverted love to selfishness, and so
stopped your ears that I left vou to be
one that men could point at and say,
He stopped at home."
" Edgar B ." The hospital aid
read the name f o i n a pass presented
to him by a lady who applied to see a
patient. "Edgar B , No. 5 ward,
madam; sixth bed on the right."
The hospital was clean enough and
tidy, considering its crowded state, but
the smell of chloride of lime and car-bolic
acid could not altogether quell
the sickly odors that drive in waves
through a military hospital.
" Not dead. Oh, no, mar'am ; he's
asleep. He was rather more favorably
thought of this morning. Both legs
amputated at the knee."
" 'He is not dead, but sleepeth.'"
Unconsciously she quoted holy words
in her heart—her numbed heart, that
seemed one while to stand still, and
then to throb until her breath iailed.
That will be a cave-taking, won't it?"
The red leaf that had fluttered between
them rose up in her memory, and the
words and the look that accompanied
them.
He opens bis eyes and another pair
are looking into them. A pair of
eyes? Ah, no; a soul is looking through
them, a soul that measures every vari-ation
of intelligence in his—marks
when the strangeness of surprise dis-solves
into the new shape of recog-nition,
when the haziness of pain clears
up into the distinctness of comfort.
Not a word is spoken. Only the
two faces lie there touching on the
pillow, and only the eyes move, search-ing
every line of each face, saying, in
unspoken language, "We are together."
Together? Yes. There should be
no more leave-taking till the final one.
So Georgia resolved, and while death
stalked on every side around Edgar
— ' s bed, he lived. The surgeons
said that Georgia saved him. His dis-charge
came. The war went on, but
his country could spare him now.
And so be got home at last to New
York—all that his omnivorous coun
try could spare of h'm as he expressed
it; and then a low fever attacked him,
and the medical man assigned all that
remained of him by anticipation to
mother earth. Theie was no pain;
life would burn out gently, but there
was no hope. And Georgia would not
believe them. She pitched her teut
ogainst the shadowy foe, and drew out
the spear, and buckler to fight for her
love. She conquered, too ; and when
she had saved him, the doctors declared
he had a constitution of cast-steel and
condescended to take the credit of his
recovery. It was not much of a re-covery
after all. Only a tottering
from the couch to the window, a lift-'
ing from the carriage to a bench in the
ark; but that was a very great deal to
her.
With a faint touch ol irony all over-wrapped
by a smile of good humor be
had said to her :
' Never mind Georgia ; you will
have to get a substitute now."
And she¿ brave with a true Woman's
courage, wise with a true woman's tact,
made reply :
" My wedding dress is ready, Edgar.
When shall we be married ?"
She kneeled, and he propped him-self
upright upon his crutcnes before
the altar. He will never kneel again;
the patriot was exonerated—God
knows where his knees are. And then
they went away. The bride and her
cripple ? Not a bit of it—the wife and
her hero.
He likes that seat by the lilacs on
the north side of the lake. The sun-light
glitters on the water fringe that
trickles from under the feet of the
angel of the fountain, and he says it is
a figure of his own life, which is run-ning
away ever the basin watched by
an angel.
The shadows of the lilacs lengthen
out across the path and touch the
grass-plot, so she lifts the softly padded
crutches and smiles her meaning:
"Time to go home, Edgar." Sweet,
serious face. Verily the martyr has
bis consolation.
That is the idyl.

A New Feature Iu Communion Ser-vice.
A rather new and novel feature in
the communion service has been in-augurated
in a Methodist Episcopal
church in Cleveland, Ohio. As in
many churches, it has been customary
to give communion wine to all par-takers
from one cup. On the ground
of decency, good taste and holiness the
pastor of this church furnished each
member who attended service last Sun-day,
with a separate cup. There were
seyenty-two in all and the cups would
not go round, so some of them had to
be washed.

Orthodox Mahometanism is an
enemy to social progress. Its attitude
toward the weaker sex dissipates any
doubt which may be felt on this point.
Despite acknowledged claims of grati-tude
and love, the prophet denied wo-man
her proper place under the new
dispensation. It was the gold of
Khadijah which raised him from
poverty and enabled him to adopt the
career of religious reformer; it was the
wit and devotion of Ayesba which
cheered him amid sickness and sorrow;
yst all the supreme and omnipotent
architect of Islam did in payment of
his debt to woman was to grant her
certain elementary rights of person and
property.
There he stopped, presumably deem-ing
it impolite and undesirable to make
further concessions to justice. As he
found woman, so then Mahomet left
her—the inferior of man, and strictly
subordinate to him from the cradle to
the grave. For she is at once his help-mate
and toy, and having accomplish-ed
her task on earth, may be con-demned
to an eternity of like labor in
Paradise should her husband wish to
number her among his celestial wives,
as the alternative to relegating her to
a separate heaven, of which we are
told nothing, and the very creation of
which would appear to have been an
afterthought. Whether in the event
of a Moslem's failure to satisfy Mihr
and Sorush, his spouse may have to
accompany him to Hades, the prophet
omitted to mention.
That the inevitable tendency of such
doctrine is to perpetuate female de-gradation,
the Turkish empire bears
witness. "Woman," says your
thorough-paced Othmanli, "was made
for man, to serve him and minister to
his pleasure, as we have the Koran,
God's word, to prove." Clearly, there-fore,
a religious reformation is essential
to the crowning victory of civilization
over the sultan's dominions. It has
already commenced. Fatalism, as
understood, by the Arab warriors, is
dying fast, and our children may not
impossibly see the Koran revised in
accordance with modern ideas.
But even here the typical Turk will,
as usual, start at the wrong end, laying
axe to the sound limbs of the tree be-fore
he touches the rotten ones. Ripe
to let Koranic virtues go by the board,
for its vices he retains the warmest af-fection.
And to his woman theory he
will cling to the last, for reasons which
scarcely enter into the scope of this
paper. When that relic of a barbaric
age has been finally abandoned, the
whole structu-re of sixth century Ma-hometanism
will be in the dust.
The importance attached by intoler-ant
Moselems to the separation of men
and women is shown m the method of
building houses, which still prevails at
Constantinople. Every Turk who can
afford to do so divides his residence in-to
harem and selamlik, and while con-necting
the two from within, gives,
practicable, a street door to each. This
is symbolical of the regime which com-mands
the sexes to live apart, unless
united by ties of closest relationship,
and requires them even then to con-duct
their intercourse privately, and,
so to say, unrecognized by the outer
world. To it the great Fuad Pasha
alluded when striking hi3 hand against
the harem wall he cried ; "Till this
partition is down. Turkey can never
be regenerated."
Thirty years have flown since he
thus spoke, yet little has been done to-ward
destroying the barrier. Some
few ladies have broken out in open re-bellion,
and two or three actually re-ceive
friends as they might in London
or Paris, but the vast majority want
courage and power, in many cases,
perhaps, inclination to boot, to follow
the lead, and, instead of joining the in-surgent
rank, profess themselves con-tent
with more becoming dresses and
addition to the comforts, and luxuries
of their homes. It should, too, be re-marked
that the movements which was
originated by contact with Western
civilization is entirely confined to
Stamboul and other large cities.
Such, briefly set forth, i? tue desti
ny to which a turkish girl is born. It
is not, therefore, surprising if her edu
cation be purely conventional, and, in
the eyes of her parents, of slight im-portance.
She is petted and spoilt,
especially by her father and the slaves,
often to a dangerous extent, and what
is worse, not infrequently a witness to
sights and a recipient of chatter de-moralized
in the extreme. Besides
this, the harem and selamlik system
stands in the way of instruction which,
under favorable circumstances, her
father might possibly give her.
She dwells almost exclusively with
women—perhaps all of them, includ-ing
her own mother, purchased slaves
—for as a rule her brothers, particular-ly
if pupils in the higher schools of
Constantinople or Europe, are seldom
at home after their education fairly
begins. A further drawback is the
rapidity with which she develops into
womanhood. At 10 years old she may
be an unlettered child, and at 14 a
maiden in the marriage market. Girl-1
hood is too short in the East for the
welfare of mind and body.

Why Papa Enlarged His House.
Charley Chatterton says that when
he was crossing the country from San
Francisco with Sarah Bernhardt he
stopped to visit an old friend in Den-ver,
whom he had not seen for several
years.
Charley noticed that his host had
increased the size of his house, by add-ing
on wings in every conceivable
place. These additions were all of
widely different styles of architecture,
and had evidently been built at
various times.
When Charley asked the reason of
the great change in his friend's house,
" Well, every time one of my daugh-ters
married I prepared for the worst
by building a wing to my house. I
found, in the first instance, that it
proyed to be sound judgment on my
part, so I kept right at it when the
other girls married."

As Georgie Understood It.
A lady went not long since to call
upon a neighbor in the country and
the fiye-year-old son of the house play-ing
upon the lawn.
" How do you do, Georgie," she
said. "Is your mamma at home?"
" No, Mrs. Gray," he answered with
most approved politeness.
" I am sorry for that," said the call-er.
"Will she be gone long ?"
" I don't know," the little fellow an-swered
doubtfully. " She's gone to a
Christian and Devil meeting."
" Gone to what ?" the lady exclaim-ed
in astonishment, " To a Christian
and Devil meeting in the vestry," was
the reply.
And it suddenly flashed across the
caller's remembrance that for that
afternoon had been appointed at the
vestry of the church a meeting of the
Society of Christian Endeavor.
Setting It Right.
There was a sign on the barber-shop
window reading:
"Boots blacked inside."
A pedestrain halted and read and
reread the sign, and then opened the
door and said :
" That ought to be shoes. Not one
man in fifty wears boots nowadays."
The barber didn't say anything, but
after due reflection concluded the man
was right, and so changed the sign to
read:
" Shoes blacked inside."
He had scarcely put it up, when the
same man came along again and open-ed
the door to say :
" No one wants the inside of his shoes

Was It Hypnotism ?
As I was coming down town a few
days ago I met Grizzly in the car, and
as we were old chummies and had not
seen each other for a few weeks, I
greeted him very cordially.
" What's new in the papers this
morning?" I inquired to set the con-yersational
ball comfortably rolling,
" Paper isn't out yet this week. Say,
hear they have discovered gold in
California."
I looked at him a little curiously,
and before I could make up my mind
what he was driving at, he said :
" No use talking, General Taylor is
our man for president."
Then I looked at him rather closely
on the outside. Better fix it."
The barber puzzled over it for a
while and realized that the man was
right, and next day the sign was re-placed
by one reading:
" The outside of shoes blacked inside."
That's perfectly correct," said the
fault-finder, as he came along in the
afternoon. "Never give yourself away
on the English language. Always say
what you mean. Better put up a sign
in the other window of 'Shave You
While You Wait.' Everybody will
then understand that they must wait
while you shave."

" Say," said I, breaking in upon
him, "Are you crazy or just giving me
a whirl of some kind ?"
He looked at me blankly for half a
minute, and then a smile began to
spread over his face. " I beg your
pardon, old man, I believe I am get-ting
a trifle off'. You see, I got one of
those forty-year-old dictionaries as a

that an apple that was picked the other
day in E. B. George's orchard, New

produced by a peculiar grafting done
by the bees in the apple blossom sea-son.
Exactly one-half of the apple is
golden russet, like the apples that grew
on the same tree, and the other half is
bright green pippin, such a variety as
grew on trees 100 yards distant, In
blossoming time a bee must have
transplanted a part of a distant pippin
blossom into tne petals of the russet's
