A-ad the sunligLt danced IQ at the window and turned her hair to stnmng gold touched the crisp gray locks of John Rogers, and made a friendly circle of hgb' ind warmth about the pair "I coal! not go against mamma's wishes, you know," the young lady said, gently, playing with the ring on her left hand.

"She has had a long talk with me this morning, and, though I kuew she disapproved of oar engagement, I never realized before how her heart was Bet against it." "And you do not think by patient waiting--by proving how earnest we are "No, Juhn. Mother cannot look on it as we do she realizes all the disadvantages and none of the hopes that we have built on and then the yonng lady glanced down once at her delicate hands before she it be quite fair, John, for me to wait, and let all other opportunities glide by, and grow old and sad while I waited John started. There was so much caution suggested in the words. No doubt she was but repeating them after her mother, bat they fell chillingly on his ears from those young lips. "It is true, Maud," he answered, while a look of pain lingered on his face.

"You shall not let other chances of happiness slip by because you are bound to me. It is not the love I thought you gava me--a love which trusts and hopes in patient faithfulness. I am no longer young, dear, but I have risked much on this dream of love, coming late in life, bat coming for the first time, Maud, and '--his voice broke with me--always He rose and turned partly away from her, quite still, leaning his arms on the mantel-piece. Man! Branson rose too, and toward him, her delicate, beautiful face of concern There was nothing about John Kogers to at tract notice Ha was a very plain man, no longer young but he had at least some charm of mind or soul which had won the lova of a very beautiful woman. dress clang in graceful tolds to her slender figure, a of blue boujd the golden hair, which was coiled in classic simplicity abo'it neid He turned and looked at taking in all the do tails of tho picture then he put his heaJ dejectedly on Lts crossed arm? Maud extended, one hand appealingly "John, yon will take it "Yes, Maud," he answered, drawing his breath hard.

"I take it--and renounce it." He patted the soft surface once or twice, thoaghtfully. "All that came with it, and all that goes with it Maud, good by." i There was such a noble sadnesa in his face that it touched her. Tae proad head bent lower, until it rested on John Rjgers's shoulder She raised herself with eyes still wet. "Good by, John. The world can't give just what we want." "No, dear.

What is it "Your ring He took the pretty sappiue ring he had placed on her band one day with only half-realized rapture and slipped it in his vest pocket. It was worthless now. And so John Rogers left the house and threaded his way down the busy streets. The sunlight still danced over him warm and beautiful, kissing his grave face, but hair, his hands. 'And let all other opportunities glide by be repeated the words to himself, ruefully.

"It's not the old fashioned love not the love I used to dream of when I was a boy. Perhaps there isn't any nowadays." He looked very tired as he ran up the steps and rang at the door of his board- ing-bouse. Clarice noticed it, his landlady's daughter. "Yon look tired, Mr. Rogers," looking up from her work and speaking through the open door.

He smiled, wearily. "Do I' And what are you doing, Clarice Still sewing for these hardened little wretches "Yes iin't this a big hole I am darning Boys do wear oat their clothes so fast. You are home early from the office." "Yes, I had an engagement at three o'clock and did not care to go back. May I come in and have a ohat with you "Ob, yes, if you care to," with her quick smile, a smile which her eyes belied, and which always seemed to John "made to order." She polled forward a chair without rising, and went on with her darning again. "I sit here because it's cool, and I always do my sewing afternoons in the mornings there is housework." It was a shabby little parlor, seldom used by the boarders, who were principally gentlemen, and spent their evenings out, if not in their own rooms.

A few tawdry decorations only enhanced the shabbmesa of the threadbare carpet, dirty walls, and ancient lace curtains. "Do yon never have any amusements, Clarice asked John, trying to forget his own wretchedness by interesting himself in some one else. "Amusements she repeated, pushing the cnris off her forehead in a puzzled way yes there is a Mr. Jones he plays the piano and once Mr Aikena, the elocution teacher, a piece, and all the boarders came in. John smiled, eyeing the htcle maiden pityingly as she stitched away.

She looked up suddenly and caught his eye "We did not always keep boarders," she said, proudly, reading something there she did not like. "When I was at schuol we were well oft aud had a nice house, but mammi is a i i eight children, you know, and I have to help her about the work "I said John, kindly, looking at htt Clarice with so maca a that she warmed i urn, an continued cootiden-ially "Once I had a beantitul me--that was a good while ago--a girl I kuew at school huited up, wr jt- to me, and invited me to visit her It was Phi a delphia."

"Yep, I cin understand it," said John, noting the light in the eyes and the newly acquired coi r.

"Pootchtld said John, tenderly "But it's my own fault, Mr Rogers. I expected too much. There is no such lovs as I have dreamed about, and mother says I did very wrong to break it off She was very angry with me, but I knew these things would always fret him, and I could not bear it "Clanca, would it help you any to know that too, have suffered as you have suffered' asked John, for two shining tears had dropped on the boy's jacket. too, dreamed of love, and I found a woman whom I believed had given me that but because her parents found me only a plain, poor man, no longer young, she gave me np She gave up faith, and trust, aud hope, because she had not that real love which you describe He stopped speaking. He had forgot ten the little girl in her calico gown, and was gazing abstractedly out of the window, hard lines of regivt and passionate despair written on his face.

Suddenly he felt a little, warm, soft hand laid gently on his, and Clarice said. "Mr Rogers, I am so sorry He wrung the little working hand, and then he rose and went to his room and gave way to his new sorrow. Clarice folded her sewing and put it away; bat it comforted her as she went about her evening duties that Mr. Rogers had listened to her story, and to know that be, too, had missed the love he dreamed of. of mending and ait awhile, be heard the rustle of femioe garments, and, looking np, saw that his landlady stood before him.

Mrs. Dean was a woman who prided herself on her former dignity. She wore a very long and dnsty alpaca. It being no longer within her limits to trail silk, she trailed alpaca. Some persons are of this mold.

Her hands, which she folded majestically, were very grimy. Eogers remembered with pleasure that Clarice was always neat "Mr Rogers," began the lady with unusual dignity, "pray be seated. I have noticed for some time past that you have frequently of evenings yoar way into my parlor, and passed the time in conversation with my daughter, Clarice. I should not speak of this circumstance had not events, which have already come to pass, taagbt me to be guarded.

He bowed with the gentle oourtesy which John RDgera always used toward women, and passed out of the room, leaving Mrs Dean very much relieved, but somewhat humiliated.

John entered his room and shut the door Ha struck a light and turned on the gas, pulled down the shade, aad stood irresolute. Like one in a dream he went to the bedside and laid hia band against the pillow It was slightly damp He sank down in a chair and covered his face with his hands For a long time he sat there motionless, then he arose, took out his evening paper, and lighted his cigar as usual. It was a June afternoon. said Clarice, touching he arm with a certain timidity she hid never "life is a fairy tale, and love is beautiful, only it comes in a different way "And this is the love we have dreamtd of And Juhn Rogers looked into the dewy brown eyes of the little girl in the calico ROWT, and putting his arm around her waist pressed her close to his heart danced in at the window aad niched the sweet lips learning to smile with heart content, aad the grave, fond face of John Rigers And it fol theji its embrace 1 warm and beautiful, brig'jt and aud it glorified even the shabby little boarding house parlor, and lifted it "out of the common Several months had passed away. John Rogers bad often found bis way into the shabby little parlor, and chatted with Clarice.

Once he found a bunch of flowers on his bureau, and no room the house was such a model of order. One day as he sauntered into the parlor, toward dusk, hoping that his little friend would come there with her basket tnred, some of them hung, and others banished to tbe wilds of Dakota, where, becoming dissatisfied, they were removed to the present reservation in Northern Nebraska in 1867.

The Indian question has cost much blood. It has brought forth more argu ment Xeither has resulted lu rmeu practical good.

It is a question requir ing time and patience for great results It has taken nearly three generations gam the confidence of the few Sioux Indians that have in any way advanced. Tbe great majority have not discovered what genuine confidence is yet That "a good Indian is a dead one" may satisfy the longings of the ideal inhabitant of the "wild and woolly West," bnt it his long since been demonstrated that he is not a natural-born fool. He 18 undevel oped, like the wild prairie that he is wont to roam. In turn, by cultivation and training, he can be made to bring forth i It is the purpose of this article to show that practical, industrial education and soap make a wonderful difference in his growth toward civilization In 1834, twenty years before Longfellow's "Hiawatha" had been inspired, Revs. Thomas S.

Williamson and Stephen Riggs, two musioaaries, established cbe Dakota mission in Minnesota among the very people of whom the poet sang These Dakota, or Santee Sioux, were then wilder than any northern Indians now existence. Among these Indians fifty years ago a book was a marvelous thing. It was a "Wo wa pe." A "wo- wa pe" consisted heretofore of rode paintings or hieroglyphics. The figures of men and horses, of battle axes and scalps, drawn with coal or cut in bark, told the itory of a war party. Rude pictures of pipes and horses' feet, with other such hieroglyphics, told a man's history.

But to these two faithful missionaries, amid the privations and dis conragements of those early days, we owe tbe written language of the Sioux, which existed only in sounds. They began by making letters in the ashes with a stick, and then transferring them to tbe wall until progress was made to printed books. At the close of thirty years' patient work, they translated tbe New Testament from French into Dakota, and it was printed the new language.

The rate of growth children vanes according to SPX Tans, at the age of eleven and twelve years, boys are larger and heavier than girls; bnt from tffat age on the evolution of the girls is more rapid, and they soon overtake tha boys and pass them, till the of fifteen is reached, when the boys regain ascen- dency. A curious relation has been discovered between the growth of children in stature and ia weight M. Malling- Hansen, Director of the Deaf and Dumb Institution at Copenhagen, has for years weighed and measured his pupils daily, and he has observed that their growth does not take regularly and progressively, but by stages separated by intervals of rest. Weight also increases by periods after intervals of equilibrium. While the weight is increasing, the stature remains nearly stationary, and vice versa.

The maximum of increase of stature corresponds with a minimum pa- nod of augmentation of weight. The vital forces appear not to work on both at once. These variations are subject to the influence of the seasons. During Autumn and early Winter, according to M. Mailing Hanson, the child accumulates weight, while his stature increases slowly; bat daring Spring; stature receives a veritable push, while weight increases bat little.

Some local habits have an influence on the stature. Stendhal remarked that many Roman girls baJ deformed vertebral columns, or were a little backed, and found that it was the result of a popular belief prevailing in Rome that parents oould promote tbe growth of their children by punching them in the back.

It is not uncommon the fl )or is of stone or marble, laid pretty figures, and the frescoed ceilings add their harmonious coloring. Above the stoves are shelves for stove utensils, here the kettles, iron vessels, ranged in order, are like classic ornaments. One can here easily adopt Raskin's theory that beauty lies utility.
