MRS MEADE'S RUSE.
ODNEY SMITH loved his ease
better, than Anything else in the
wide yaorld. He had a compe-
tence whieh enabled him to
grafify his every whim, to travel
plea, first-olass manner, or to stop
ta'a home in luxury and indolence.
0 ;It is needless to add that he had
become Offish, and now, at 35, was averse
to seed* the dark side of any event per-
taininaeto himself or anybody else. It was
not st ange a certain letter, which reached
i
him va len all without was cold and cheer-
less, *roved disturbing at first, then irri-
tatin a Forced to think and act, he touched
l
, the b 11 at his albow—the summons brought
his Vai. et: ` • a •
"John," said the master, "order the
close earriage and bays to meet the 2
o'clock train from Philadelphia. I will go
myself."
The lackey bowed and withdrew. Two
hours later the wealthy owner of "The
:Pines" and vast manufacturing interests in
the adjacent city was pacing the railway
plat '
form inwardly grumbling :
" Justlike my sister to thrust upon me,
without warning, or my consent, the ward
whom, I suppose she hae found trouble -
:some or too expensive to keep on her own
hands. Of course I rememaer Tillie Green-
eld—God knows I have ocuesion to do so !
Did she not sun my advances and marry
another? I was but a boy as the time, but
her refusal made me what I am. And now
Mary sends me her orphened daughter,
with the cool injunction Cast, while doing
my best for her comfort, I an not to fall in
love with Mabel, as she has other views for
-her! Cool, upon my word! And her gov-
erness is to accompany the girl, and my
house is to be invaded and turned into a
,young ladies' boarding school without so
mach as 'By your leave'!"
A shriek of the whistle announced the
coming of the train, and. Rodney stood with
his brows sternly knit, determined to show
his unwelcome guests, from the outset, that
they had no great enjoyment to anticipate
from his society.
Alighting from the train, twoladies, one
of them young and beautiful, stood in some
einbarrassment, white Rodney advanced
toward them. With cold politeness he
asked:
"Are you looking for Rodney Smith of
The Pine?"
With great dignity the elder lady re -
pied:
" We are."
"1 am he," he curtly said, and added, as
if issuing an order, "follow me to the car -
Speechless with indignation and wounded
pride, Mrs. Hermann and her pupil followed
this man, of whom his sister had spoken as
being "80 kind, so generous, and so
anxious to do something for poor Tillie's
daughter."
The drive was embarrasing in the extreme
to them all, for ley the greatest effort only
could Mabel Greenfield keep back the tears
' which she would "rather have died than
-shed," she said afterward. Mrs. Hermann
attempted no conversation save to call the
attention of her charge to the fine scenery
through which they were rapidly driven.
Once in their rooms—an elegantly fur-
nished suite had been hurriedlyprepared for
them—they gave way to their grief and in-
dignation. It was hard to meet with such
coldness when they had anticipated the
light and warmth of a nordial reception.
There ,was nothing to do but to await de-
velopments and the arrival of Mr. Smith's
sister, who hed promised to join them upon
her arrival from her European trip two
,monthei later.
They dreaded to meet this haughtyiauto-
crat, who so evidently resented their ntrua
Bien, i but time inevitably brings around the
• regular meeting times, breakfast luncheon
and dinner, and however easy it may be to
ignore household members when they are
scattered about the rooms of a spacious
mansion, it is quite another thing to ignore
eats at one's table; so Rodney Smith met
Mabel Greenfield and her chaperon at din-
ner with an attempt at courtesy, which was
met by sueh cool indifference that he
winced a little and :secretly wished that for
the sake of his own comfort he had been
more gracious at their first meeting.
The overwhelming beauty of " Tillie's
daughter" so impressed him that he was
vexed to be caught casting glances re-
peatedly in her ,direction. Before
the meal was over •he began to
:feel injured at her indifference,
and actualty :strove to introduceasome sub-
jects for 'conversation a to all of his ad-
vance e but one course was pursued by both
ladies, who felt they had been made the
'victim of some gross misunderstanding,
They listened respeetfully, but replied Pa
monosyllables only.
The text morning Mr. Smith proposed a
• drive forhis guests. Thinking they were to
, go unaccompanied, Mrs. Hermann accepted
the invitation. Later, when the carriage
was announced, Mr. Smith appeared in the
!hall reedy to joid the party. •Divining his
intention, Mrs. Hermann decided that the
weather was to implement for Mabel to go
out and they would remain at home. Rod-
-ney ordered his saddle horse and rode for
four hour e to overcome In's resentment; at
4' such an open barna."
Day after day passed, With little or no
.conceseion on the part of the ladies forced
uponfRodney Smith's hospitality, until this
'bachelor longed for the companionehip
,within his reach yet denied him. Day by
,day he grew more interested in his sieteras
-young ward, until after aue deliberation he
.determined to make still greater overteres
to Win her favor. He decided to invite
-sonic fiiends to dinter and asked Mrs. leler-
manii if she would aseielt him in entertain.,
hig them. To haejoy, he consented, and
added that as Mabel Was a fine pianist she
,might be able to add her eliere to the
.general enjoyment. 1,Worcla ,are poWeeleat
to es:prase Rodney's eatitafaction at this
conceemon.
The guests arrived in due time, and Rod-
ney WAS pleased to see that all admired the
fair young girl wheal he had teamed to love,
but to whom he dared not lax eethe even a
word of admiration.
Mabel wee indeed eadiaiatly beautiful
when seated at the piano, with her middle-
aged loeer standing by her aide, jealously
watehing the effect of her charm upon, his
friends, Even he waa satisfied, glorying in
their surprise and the just praise poured
into his ears.
When Mrs. Mary Meade arrived an New
York from her trip to Europe a telegram
awaited, her in these words :
"Come at once. You have wrought my
ruin. RODNEY."
She laughed heartily when the bell boy,
who delivered the message with her letter,
left the room.
"Ah, ha, Rodney 1" she exclaimed. "So
you have been caught at last 1 I have my
sweet revenge for your stubbornneee when
I begged you time and again to "just see"
my lovely ward, the daughter of your old
sweetheart, whom you loved as a boy
loves." '
but who did not care for you. You never
could forgive her for your wounded pride,
and so cruelly refused to even look at her
chilcl after death had taken both parents.
But I have yeti now, old fellow 1"
• In the airy apartment used as a study by
Mrs. Hermann and her pupil, Mrs. Meade
burst into uncontrollable laughter when the
former confided her alarm at the dilemma in
which she found herself.
"We came here, as you know," she Faid,
" with very little money, prepared to be
graciously met, and our dependence robbed
of its sting by a cordial welcome. Our recep-
tion was anything but flattering, and had
our purse being less gaunt we would never
have left the station in your brother's com-
pany. But the misery of the first few days
was as nothing to the anxiety of the last
month, for Mr. Smith is madly in love with
Mabel and she has grown very fond of
him. I have been at my wits' ends to
keep them within bounds until your return,
for I could not risk your displeasure.
Well I remember your parting injunction.
Bear in mind, Mrs. Hermann, you are
nab eattallese, Mabel to conceive any foolish
notion e concemoieg my brother. I have
other views for hetta... Xtrtedase be faithful
to your commands and to my penal -eon, but
have failed dismally.
While Mrs. Meade was mystifying the
governess by her laughter, a knock upon
the door announced the arrival of Rodney,
who, ignoring the presence of Mrs. Her-
mann, first embraced, then began to up-
braid his sister for destroying his peace
of mind. Mrs. Meade still laughed, and
asked:
"Where is Mabel, that she does not corn
to greet me ?"
For answer the young girl glided toward
her, springing into her open arms and
bursing into tears. Mr. Smith envied his
sister, and wished himself in her place.
Mrs. laleade held her ward at arm's length
and, looking first at her, then at Mr. Smith,
said:
"What do you two mean? You are in
love with each other all through my own
planning, and instead of thanking lase for
bringing you together, one upbraids and
the other showers me with tears. Now, be
manly, Rodney, and tell Mabel in words
that you are dying for her love, and asee
what she will say 1"
Rodney Smith needed no second bidding,
although he was almost paralyzed with
astonishment and joy as he began to see
through his sister's ruse. Shy, sweetMabel
blushingly placed her hand in his as he ad-
vanced with the all-important question in
his eyes, for he could not speak, so great
was his happiness.
Mrs. Hermann declared that Mrs. Meade
was the most mysterious of women, when
she fairly understood that she had delib-
erately planned the closing of her home in
order to bring about the result.
Of course there was an engagement, but
Mrs. Meade would not listen to any propo-
sals for a hasty marriage.
"Mabel must go to Europe to complete
her sudies, and Beckley must wait patiently
for," she added impressively, "love's trans-
formation is great, but a man of five and
thirty years who has lived for himself alone,
has much to undo and to learn before
he can be fitly mated to a bright, inexperi-
enced girl."
Rodney submitted to this with tolerable
grace. So while Mabel was gaining know-
ledge, he faithfully battled to overcome
selfishness, striving to be noble in thought
and deed.
One day, not long ago, on the deck an of
incoming steamship a party of ladies looked
among the waiting crowd for one dearer to
two of them than all the world beside.
That one was RodneySmith—not the selfish
mortal who had chafed under his forced
position as host two years before, but a
changed man—whose name had become a
household word in families where the wolf
sometimes looked in at the door. Who can
picture the joy of the meeting when he
sprang up the vessel's side, through the
surging crowd to the spot where stood his
sweet Mabel, grown into serious woman-
hood ?
Mrs. Meade's plot ended happily, for
when Mabel stool at the altar and gave her
life and its hopes into the keeping of Rod-
ney Smith, all witnesses felt that in this
instance Cupid had made no mistake.—

A Famous Choir.
"Undoubtedly the finest choir in the
world is that of St. Peter's, in Rorne,known
as the Pope's Choir," said Frank Torre, of
Balthnore at the Southern, says the St.
Louis Gabe -Democrat. "There is not a
female voice in it, and yet the most difficult
oratorios and sacred music written are ren-
dered in such a manner as to make one think
that Adelini Patti's high soprano is leading.
The choir is composed of 60 boys. They
are trained for the work from the time they
get control of their vocal cords, and some
of the best singers are not over 9 years
old. At the age of 17 they are dropped
frem the choir. To say that at the
Pope's service one hears the grandestchureh
music that the world. has ever known :man&
commonplace, so far short does it tall of
apt description. I am something of a con-
noisseur, have been a profound student of
music all my life, and have heard every
groat opera produced by the Mgt famous
organizations, but until a few months ago,
when I heard the Pope's Choir, I had ho
idea that the human voice wee capable of
such performances. I don't gee why the big
operatic organizations don't loam a leeson
from St. Peter's and have a chorus of boys
exclusively. It would not suit the bald
heads, but it would please the genuine
lovers of music."

The rich and the poor, the ofil and the
young, the learned and the unlearned, have
often occasion to call epectacles into their
service. There is not a .,seetion of society,
from the Queen on the throne to the
peasant in the cottage, which does not call
them to their aid—so universally useful
are a pair of epectaeles. It hes been fetid,
though with very little foundation, that
spectacles were in use among the aliments.
Most authorities, however, give the latter
part of the 13th century as the period of
their invention. Some attribute the in-
vention to Alexander Spina, a monk of Pisa,
in Italy, and suppose its date to be about
1300; but Roger Bacon, who died some years
before, makes mention of magnifying
glasses, which justifies the belief that some-
thing like what are called spectacles were
in use several years earlier. Spectacles are
a predous boon to those who require them,
and the man who invented Clem is fairly
entitled to a monument in the temples of
fame throughout the world. Dr. Franklin,
in describing a pair of spectacles which he
used to wear, said " Although I cannot
distinguish a letter, even of large print, by
the naked eye, with the assistance of spec-
tacles my eyes are as useful to me as ever
they were; and if all the other defects and.
infirmities of old age could be as easily and
,as cheaply removed, it would be worth
while to live a good deal longer." This
sentence expresses the feelings of thousands.
"One touch of nature makes all the world
akin." Varietiee in the conformation of the
eyes, and in the manner and degree in
which they are affected by use, render it
impossible to lay down any rules for the
focal length of convex glasses for persons of
ea given age; yet the following table, ex-
freatea from Dr. Kitchener's "Economy of

It is advisable that he or she who wishes
to find a pair of spectacles adapted to their
wants should be content with the lowest
number with which they can see objects
clearly—that is, if the age is 50, try to get
along, if possible, with No. 24 before taking
to No. 20. Persons as they advance in
years require to change their glasses from
time to time for those of a higher power.
When the eyes are afflicted with weakness,
colored snectacles, green, blue or gray, are
found to be very useful. Indeed, there is
no defect of sight which cannot be greatly
assisted. by the skill of, the optician.
• THE HUMAN EYE.
The man of science sees that the eye was
made by One who understood the trans-
mission, reflection and reframion of light ;
how to make lenses of different powers, ad-
just theift for clear perception of near or
distant objects; how to make and use most
ingenious mechanical contrivances, in order
to turn the eye in every direction, and in-
crease or diminish light ; how to place the
eye so as to be of most service, protected
from injury, moistened from time to time,
and able to close or shut. Common sense is
sure that Divine Intelligence made the eye;
and, in duty bound, worships God.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE StUgAN EYE.
The cornea is that transparent window in
front of th'e human eye, like a, watch -glass
in front of the metal case. A short dis-
tance behind this is a crystalline lens,
covered by the iris, a curtain of vary-
ing color, perforated in the centre
by the pupil—a round hole, the edges of
which are in contact with the front of the
lens. The lens is circular'biconvex and
ele.stic. It is attached at the edge by a
circular band, the ciliary body, to the inside
of the eye. The tension of this ring, andof
the lens itself, is regulated by muscular
fibres called the ciliary muscle. The con-
traction of this muscle diminishes the ten-
sion of the lens, and its surfaces, chiefly the
front one, become more cOnvex. The
healthy eye, when at rest, sees distant
objects distinctly. By contraction of the
ciliary muscle it is accommodated to discern
those which are near. Thus the images of
objects, whether near or far off, are brought
to a focus on the back of the dark chamber
of the eye. Defects are partly the result of
an artificial way of life, and partly of
changes wrought by old age. By the eye is
seen the wealth of form and color aniong
flowers, the distant landscapes of the earth,
all the varieties of sunlight thatreveal them,
and the countless shining worlds that fill
immeasurable space. It is the unsurpassed
model of opticians; philosphers extol it as
an organism full of wonders; poets and
orators justly celebrate its praise. Every
instant, with rapidity, we turn the eye
from one point to another in the field of
vision ; and this rapidity, with perfection
of the mailer field, and the rough sketching
in of the larger, make the eye far superior
to any other optical instrument.
PALEY ON VISION.
Paley, in " Natural Theology," says :
In considering vision by means of an
image formed at the bottom of an eye, we
can never reflect without wonder upon the
smallness,yet correctness of the picture,
the subtilty of the touch, the fineness of
the lines. A landscape of five or six square
leagues is brought into a space of half an
inch in diameter, yet the multitude of
objects which it contains aa all preserved
—are all discriminated in their magnitudes,
positions, colors. A prospect from Hamp-
stead • Hill is dompressed into the
compass of a sixpence, yet circum-
stantially represented. A stage -coach
travelling at its ordinary speed for half an
hour passes in the eye over only one -twelfth
of an well, yet is this change of place in the
image distinctly perceived throughout the
whole progress, for it is only by means of
that perception that the motion of the
coaeh itself is made sensible to the eye."

TRUE COURTESY.
In this Instance Found Behind the Counter
of a Dry Goode Store.
Not long ago writes a Youth's Compvnien
contributor, I wao fleeted at a counter in
underwear and ehildren's clothing estab-
lishment frequented by the wealthier ladies
of San Franmeco, when a poorly dressed
woman wandered in, leading tt little boy
and girl. From her dress aud appearance
she was evidently a workingwornan or the
wife of a day -laborer, who probably lived
in the outekirts of the town, and who rarely
got so far away from home, being accus-
tomed to make moat of her purchases at
one of the little eaburban stoma scattered
about the city.
It was the first cley of the month; the day
before had been the raouthly payday of her
husband, and it was plain, from her bright
expression, that she had in her purse a little
money which it was her delight to spend,
mother -fashion, in the adornment of her
children, both of whom were painfully shy
and shabbily dreesed.
"1 would like to look at a bonnet for my
little girl," she said, modestly addiessing
the etylish-looking, black-eyed young sales-
woman.
" A wash bonnet, I suppose ? " replied
the young lady ,
"1! you please."
Stooping a,nd reaching under the counter,
the young woman brought out aleage box
piled high with dainty emproidered caps of
the latest pattern, and covered with a frost -
work of fine embroidery.
The woman put out her hand timidly, and
possessed herself of one of the more elabor-
ate. The saleswomen picked out one of
plainer pattern and held it out to her, say-
ing pleasantly:
" Jlere is one of the prettiest bonnets we
have in the store."
• Ttoe mother took it in her .band, looking
happily at her child's smiling face. Yes, it
was a charming little bonnet; pretty
enough tor the nicest little girl in the city;
one that would be sure to be becoming to
the sweet little face; but prudence checked
her.
"How much is it ?"
" Two dollars."
The price was very reasonable for the
bonnet and the place. Nobody goes to that
store without expecting to pay roundly for
exquisite taste and perfect workmanship.
Bet the poor woman put the bonnet away
with a decisive gesture, trying to disguise
the disappointinent she felt.
" That is too mu. a I cutaegp 'higher
than fifty cents." ,sa
I looked anxiously at t easel eswemen-
wondering if she would make eeedia \teinlOtil"
ous retort. But the girl rem:dna:1,as aseaa,
and polite as if she were serving the Queen
of Sheba. .
"1 will look and see if we have any in,
her size at that price. I am almost sure that
we are out of that skein fifty -cent bonnets,"
she said.
Then she made a feint of looking under
the counter, and rose again, still with the
utmost courtesy.
"1 am sorry, but we are entirely out of
her size,"she said.
The poor woman took her children by the
hand and left the store, with her pride un-
hurt, and the girl handed me my change
with a word of thanks. •
I nodded a good-bye to her, wishing that
I might express my appreciation of her
gracious little deed; wishing, too, that
other saleswomen would follow her ex-
ample of thoughtful consideration for the
poor; and wishing most of allthat there
was some way of slipping two shining coins
into the purse of the poor mother, so that
she could have the bonnet she wanted to
frame the child's sweet, shy face.
