Mary bad a little land, The soil was very poor ; But still she kept it on her hand, and struggled to get more. She held -her land..-rintitthe day The people settled down ; Till where a wilderness had been Grew up a thriving town. Then Mary rented out her plot {She would not sell, you know), But waited patiently -about - For prices still to grow. They grew as population came, And Mary raised the rent With common food and raiment now She would not be content,. She bui t herself a mansion fine, Had 1 'ea galore� But eve e Wet prices rose, She rai ed the rent some more. " What makes the land keep Mary so?" The common people cry ; " Why, Maly owns the land, you know," The knowing ones reply. And so each one of you might be— If you had only owned some laird, And " waited for the rise." n., , Russian Persecution.

Lady Clancarty, she that was Belle Bil- ton, a London dance -hall • singer who was born Katie Flaherty, is finding it very hard to associate with the ladies of the English nobility according to the rules of ordinary society, to say nothing of the conventions of the upper ten. Her boy husband calls her " Ducky" just as he did in those halcyon days when he was painting the town and she was kicking her earrings to the delight of the large and critical audi- ences that fill the London dance -halls. Some of: her present equals in the matter of social position have said if her hearing that she was positively boorish ; but Belle knows better than to believe them, for she knows that all the boys used to say sincerely thathe was a " lona." The Countess Bell was at Hombur ,• a fashionable German Waukesha, Last n oath.; She had to be in- vited to the swell parties, and found herself one evening at a function of the Duchess of Rutland. In the course of the evening she attempted to sit still a few moments beside her boy husband, the duke. She succeeded in her undertaking until the band began to play the celebrated iioctuirne by Veryfriska, entitled " Little Chippie Bird, Get Your Hair Trimmed." Tlni nocturne, as thosewho are up in musical matters know, is a com- position that is always • played . in a decided scherzo manner, as it is loaded to the muzzle with flipness- and-- glee. Its razzle-dazzle influence was too much for Lady Clanearty, the gossips say, and springing to her feet she entertained the assemblage with a skirt dance that would break up a Methodist camp meeting in 10 minutes. Her husband was frantic and the duchess of Portland approached as near as the flying heels would let her and said something pointed 'in French. During the remainder of the time consumed in playing " Get Your Hair Cut," it is rumored that Lady Clancarty kicked through five octavos instead of eight and thus kept within the bounds of fashionable exhibitions of skirt dancing. -Albany Sun.

' ea - NELLIE'S I'OETUNE Before a little ivy-covered cottage one eyening stood a young man and a girl of perhaps some eighteen or nineteen summers. 4 --Nellie;" the r maaii was saying, .t you know my furlough is up in a week and it certainly follows that I should de- sire a decided answer from you by that time. " 1 t , -C.a•ptainWarden, ygu ,must let me think about it,�� she said with an arch smile. ' " Of course, by all means, my aeaa, I will give you until the very last minute, if necessary ; but I shall have a favorable Fail Wer ?" " Well, I will think about it," said the Fgirl: Five minutes later he left and hurried down the road to his home, while the young lady entered the cottage singing a snatch from a favorie ballad. Nellie Pearsley was the belle of Wellesley and a reputed heiress. It was whispered aulL�'"ar.laar.taaalawgew.`p 'rkriaL,Paaa`.7di'"��i"r t.: IT sum in Store for his pretty little niece. Her hand was sought by many of the young men of the village, but she, only kept them in suspense, keeping each wondering if he were the favored one. The next evening about 8 o'clock the door bell rang and another one of her many ad- mire. r as inhered gOldiez an"e oil et� li" same "nil en as ap In Warden. After a half an hour or so he, managed to muster up courage enough to get the fated tauestion out, but Nellie made. evasive answers. " I should have to consult my uncle on this matter, so it may be some time before I tail give you my answer." should tile-to—kno ;hie tt "Week, for my regiment is off for India then, and it will be some time before 1 see you again." - " I'll be sure to anawer you before the week is .out," said the young heiress absently. The young " man -was- satisfied and in a few moments took his departure, priding and consoling himself on the replyhe ex- pected to receive. " Well," said Nellie to herself when he had gone, " I'm in a fix. Two offers of marriage in as many days and neither party answered. Which shall I take ? Why, it is really alarming. I declare, . if that is not the door bell again." This time it was not a soldier, but a young clerk who was ushered in. George Warren had the reputation of being the most bashful youth in the whole of Welleley. ".Why, good evening," said Nellie, ex- tending her hand, which the youth took almost reverently with his. " I am • so pleased to see you." " I heard you were going away," ;said Nellie. " Only for a few days on a little business for the store." - " But when are you going ?" she con' tinued. " To -night on the east -bound train, which will .leavein a vs ry.'short. time." " Oh," pquted the young lady, " it is too bad you have to ,go so soon." - - George laughed and blushed again. They conversed for some time longer, when the youth had his courage mustered up, as his two predecessors had, and, after ten min- utes' hard work, succeeded fairly well 'in popping the question. ' Oh, you foolish boy," laughed the young heiress. • " Is that all you were try- ing to ask me forothe Jest quarter of an hour ?" • " You haven't answered me yet," • said the young clerk, picking up fresh courage by Nellie's pleasantry. ".You must wait a few days, George," she said seriously. " I must consult my uncle on the matter." " I will wait as long as you want me to, Nellie, buthow long will you have to keep me in suspense ?" " I'll let you know by the end of the week at. least." "Bidding her good-bye he left the house and was soon lost to view in the gloom.. " Just think," mused the girl, " of having to face three offers in two nights, Captain Warden and Lieutenant Arkwright of Her Majesty's 8th regiment and a clerk in .a country store. Nell, I know now partly whom I'll accept." Thenext day Wellsley was awed by hear- ing of the death of Captain Pearson, Nellie's uncle. He had succumbed to a disease from which he had long been a sufferer. But when, after his funeral, his will was read by which he left to Nellie all his worldly possessions, these were found to amount to only ''a few hundred pounds. Was she then the much -talked -of Wellesley heiress, for whom many a youth had spent sleepless nights in thihking of her and her little for- tune ? The mothers of the eligible young men looked disgusted at what they consid- ered a base deception and wondered to them- selves what the proud Miss Pearson would do now. A few days after the funeral Nellie was standing in front of her cottage. All at 'once she heard some one approaching; and looking up saw Captain . Warden coming towards her. " 1 hope, Miss Pearson," he said,. coldly, " that you will think lightly of the proposal I•made you a week ago. I•have been think- ing the matter over and have decided not to marry just- yet." • "I am perfectly satisfied with thearrange- ment, and you may consider yo}Irself free,'," said Nellie, independently. The following day she received a letter from Arkwright. It ran thus Dean Miss PEARSON,—Upon thinking over my proposal of marriage to you last week I have decided that I was a little hasty, and trust you will permit me to withdraw, my offer and that the arrangement will be satisfactory to you.—Ever your friend, - SAMUEL ARRWRIGRT. " Yes," thought Nellie to herself, " I am perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, as he calls it. Those tWo men did not care for me, but they supposed I hada large fortune. Now I wonder if my country clerk will remain faithful ?" •' She met George several times, but he never mentioned or hinted at the offer he had made her, until a month after her uncle's' death. " I thought it.would not do to inention it so soon after Captain Pearson's death, but'I think I can now make bold enough to seek the answer promised me a month ago.But my suppo d fortune," said Nellie. t t Fortune," echoed t rge. " Do you really mean to insinuate that I was after your fortune." Nellie made no reply, but placed her hand in his, and the soft gaze of her blue eyes told him more than words. The people of Wellesley Were soon made awaretheriet-th-fit Captain PeareOnakaai - made all his fortune over -to her six months before he died.

London. • Boston Sunday Herald : Londoners have been revelling in watermelons, a large con- signment of that precious fruit having been received from Cincinnati. It was a bright idea sending over the watermelons, for Cincinnati's wide-awake venture .caused almost a revolution among the British gar- deners. As far as can be learned, the noble (Briton has taken kindly to . the American fruit, and solemnly asks if it will be pos- sible to cultivate it in that foggy and groggy little island. I We don't believe it can be done.' • The watermelon is a mixture of hot sunshine and 'sugar and water, and that could never be got together in English soil. Several of the London dailies have given long and imposing editorials on the subject, 'but the true results of the exporta- tionmay be. heard from in the Lancet. "Gentle as the Summer Brecie." " I'd rather . take a thrashing -any time than a dose of pills," groaned a patient to whom the doctor has prescribed a physic.
