The brightness on her sunny brow, the music In her voice. One question, and but one I ask, then for an answer wait; My very heart Is motionless, expectant of Its fate! A wondrous light the light of love glows In the tender eyes Her breath Is warm upon my face O sweetest of replies! But bless my heart! The driving rain is comlrvg In.

John Scott, In Chambers' Journal, Men Have Larger Hearts. "It is customary to assert that worn en are more apt to love than men, and that 1hey love with greater jwsslon," said the physician. "But, nevertheless if the heart has anything to do with it the greater love should be that of the man. For a woman's heart is not as big that in the male breast. Men hnve larger hearts. The average heart of a man tveJgbs from ten to twelve ounres, w hile toe average heart of a w oman weighs two ourree less. Nevertheless in proportion to the whole weight of the body, the woman's heart is greater, for irt the normal woman the heart weighs 1-149 os much as all the rest of her, while the ninn's heart is but 1-109 of hit total weight."

MLss Nancy Armstrong asked the question of her niece, Margery. Her tone was sharp ami her eyes hud an angry snap in them. '"it was John Markham," a ua we red Margery, quietly enough, as she took off her bounet, but the tone in whicft the question had been usked brought an extra color lo her cheek ana a sparkle of resentmeut to her eyes. I thought so," responded Miss Nancy, in hrr most irritating way. "Margery Armstrong, I should think you'd be ashamed of yourself." "What for?" asked Margery. "I'm not aware that I've done anything to be ashamed of." "Oh, you needu't try to plead inno cence, retorted Aliss Ratify. ou ought to be a.shumcd of going w ith that Markham fellow, and you know it." "I uou t know any such thing," an swered Margery, facing her aunt bravely. "John Markham is a respectable young man. ou Uon t like him be cause there used to be trouble between the Markhaais and the Armstrongs. I hat happened before either of us was born, and there's no reason why we' should keep up the quarrel. If we se j tit to like each other 1 don't know who's going to prevent our doing so." I I am," answered Mis Vanev, grim ly. "You needn't think and John Markham needn't think that a cent of my properly 'II go into the hands of any one of that family." Oh, you tan do just us you see fit to about jour property, of course," said Margery. "I haveu't anything to say about that, but if you think anything you can do about it will prevent John and I from liking each other, you're quite mistaken. He don't want your property, but" with the prettiest lit tle blush imaginable and a softening of the voice at the import of the words, 'he does want me." "Margery Armstrong, I'd like to know how far this matter ha gone," eried Miss Nancy, iu wrathful surprise. lo judge by the way you talk one would suppose it is all settled between you." "It is," answered Margery, with yes that never flinched beforo the angry ones of her aunt. "I promised John tonight, to-night, coming home from church, that I'd marry him as soon as he has a home for me." Miss Nancy fairly gasped for breath. "You're a fool," she said. "Please yourself about that," answered Margery. "We don't want your money. Were both strong and willing to work and we'll get along. Dun't worty about that." "That sounds well, but you'll sing a different tune by and 'by," said Miss Nancy. "Just remember what I tell you." "All right, I will," replied Margery, and then she went up to her room, not to think about what her aunt had said, but about the things she had talked of with 'her lover, as they walked home from ehureh together. Miss Nancy sat in the kitchen aud nursed her wratih. "Just to think that she defies irie!'' she eaid to herself. "If she'd marry Squire Brand's ne,phew she'd be the wealthiest -woman in town, for she'd get all I have and her husband '11 get all the squire has. It's a fJiame a downright ffliame! that she can't tie made to behave sensibly. But then, she's an Armstrong and they were always al-ways terribly set in their way. She takes it from our side of the family. But that doesn't make it any easier to bear with her foolishness. I'd got my heart set ou lier marrying the squire'a nephew and I hate to give it uy. But I suppose I'll have to, for I know she won't listen to reason. But maybe, wfoen she tells that young Markham what I said about the -property he'll think twice before he decides to marry a girl without anything." But Miss Nancy didn't get ranch comfort from that, for down deep iri her heart she didn't believe that John Markhum was that kind of a man. She had often said to herself that "if he wasn't a Markham he'd be n pretty nice sort of a fellow." It seemed to have been tacitly agreed on between Margery and her aunt that nothing furtlher wa to be said between them about the matter on which they bad such a wide difference of opinion. So 'neither John Markham nor the squire's ne.phew was mentioned by either of them after that evening. One day Mus Nancy decided to go to the city to do some shopping. She waa always afraid of being too late for the train and generally arrived nt the station sta-tion at least half an hour before it was due. She did o or tiis occasion, and aa the day was a very warm one she sat down on the platform iu the shade of some large boxes of freight that had been' unloaded there, thinking it more comfortable there than in the stuffy little lit-tle waiting-room. Bretty soon fche heard steps on the platform and presently voices from the other side of the pile of boxes reached her ears. - "How is your matrimonial project pettiru along?" was asked by one of the unseen parties. And a voice which Miss Nnuey recognized ns belonging to th squire' nephew answered: "It scorns to hang lire, just at present. pres-ent. The fact is, lihe girl's got another string to her bow and Lhe chances would be against me if it wasn't for the fact th;t her aunt favors my suit, because she thiuks I'm goingKoget t'nele Amos' money, and she'd like to unit the two properties.

If the girl gets a deed of it and I get the gi.I 1 can sell it to the railixmd company and make. a good big sum of money out of it and we'll be independent cf the cunt: and when that happens, if it ever does, I'll tell her to look out for her affairs and I'll look out for mane. I'm looking out now that she don't find out about the new railroad scheme. I want to make cure of the girl and the land before be-fore 1 break the news to her." Miss Nancy listened with ars and eyes very wide open. "Yes, when it happens, If it ever does," she chuckled. "I don't believe you'll ever get the chance you're looking for, my smart youn man! I den't suppose 1 am a daisy I never thought I was! but I rather guess I'm a match for you, since I know what I do. I don't believe you'll have to shake me off. I thiuk I'll do a little or most -of the shaking." Just then the train come along and Miss Nancy got aboard it without being be-ing seen by the young men. That evening, when she came home, ns' luck would 'have it, she met the squire's nephew at the station. "If you're going home you might walk along with me and help carry some of my bundles," she said, in. her very pleasant pleas-ant manner. "I'm just about tired out. I've been seeing to a good deal of business busi-ness to-day. I've had a deed made out. giving Margery the south 40 acres of the farm, and I've been pricing carpets a iid furniture and finding out how much it's going to cost to set up a young couple in housekeeping. Of course they won't need the things right uway, but I thought I'd get some idea of what the expense would be." "They who do you mean?" asked the young man, in bewilderment. "Why, Margery and Mr. Markham, of course," answered Miss Nancy. "Who elso should I mean?" "You don't mean to say you're goiiyr to let your niece marry that fellow!" cried the squire's nephew, in surprise and consternation. "Why, certainlv." rerolied Miss Nancy, as if she had never had any other idea. "He's a nice young man. He's got brains, and when he gets Margery he'll get money, for the new railroad's going to make the land I've deeded her worth a snug little fortune." "I'd like to know how you knewubout the new railroad?" cried the astonished young man. "Oh. I keep posted on such matters," said Misa Nancy, looking very wise. "But here we are at my gate. Thank you for bringing my bundles. Won't you come in? "No, not to-night," was the gruff re-j ply, and Miss Nancy chuckled as the young man went his way. "I 'gniess I've got about even with you," she said, nodding- her head after his retreating figure. "I guess he was about as much surprised as Margery'll be." Her niece had seen her and came out to meet her and help her with her bundles. bun-dles. "Margery, I've got something to tell you," said Miss Nancy, anxious to have tihe matter disposed of. "I've thought it all over, and I don't know but you're right about John Markham. It is foolish fool-ish to let nn old grudge stand in the way of young folks' happiness. I've concluded to let you do as you think best, and I've had the south 40 deeded to you, and when John gets you he'll j get that too, if you 6ee fit to turn it over to him. Anyway, it'a yours to do just wihat you please with." "Why, Aunt Nancy!" cried Margery, looking nt her as if she fait sure she had gone crazy. "I thought you'd never conseut to our marriage?" "Folks change their minds sometimes," some-times," said Miss Nancy. "There! there! Don't hug me so or I'll drop this band-box. I hear a whistle down the road that sounds like John's. You'd better go and tell him the news, and by and by, after I've had a cup of tea, bring him in to Ifjne." N. Y.
