Show more beautiful than her flashing black eyes, and long, straight limbs, and the abundant dark tresses: with which her head was crowned. Carmen was an too, who could not remember orphan, either father or mother, and lived with her uncle and guardian,! Sir Frederic Flower, in an oldjhouse in the country called Abbotsville. It was rumored in the school that Miss Flower was an heiress, and would inherit all her uncle's money, and jCarmen was fond of boasting to the same effect; but that circumstance made no difference to Peg. Her heart had known too little of affection not to respond eagerly to that semblance of it whiih school girls exhibit toward each other, and which has its outlet ii ; kisses?, secrets and terms of endearment. She mistook all this gilt for gold, and before a month was over her heaid she Adored Carmen Flower as a being of superior order to herself, and was never so happy as when she was running her errands, doing her commissions, or Waiting on her pleasure. Carmen liked this adulation; it was as balm to her conceited spirit, and if she had ever felt an attachment to anyone it was to Margaret O'Reilly. Inheriting from her Spanish mother a haughtiness and thirst for admiration which had rendered he obnoxious to her companions, her beauty' and wealth had not met hitherto with the consideration she thought they deserved, The British girl is almost as ready as her brother to put down anything like and conceitj and the butcher's and baker's daughters had been irritated rather than awed, by the assumption of importance maintained by Miss Flower. But poor Peg had no dignity of her own to keep up She could not assert loadJy.like the Misses Prime and Candy, that she was as good as others; she was only anxious to conceal the past, and let it die in silence. Even to her friend, Carmen Flower, she said nothing on the subject.; Her feminine instinct had already taught her that: the confession would do her harm, added to which Mrs. Garrett had especially cautioned her, on her master's behalf, not to re veal anything of her past life. So all that the young ladies discovered was that she was an orphan and lived with her guardian, the same as Carmen Flower did. They thought dreadfully vulgar at first, but natural timidity made her expose her deficiencies as little as possible, and natural intelligence quickly taught her to remedy them. It was Easter when she was sent to Pomona Villa, and by midsummer no one would have recognized her as the same girl. Her face and figure had filled out, her cheeks bloomed with health, and her language was at least as correct as it is with most of her age. In fact, Margaret O'Reilly had become the prettiest girl in the school, and, though their attachment continued unabated, Carmen Flower was more than disposed to be jealous of the attention she attracted. When Mrs. Garrett arrived; on one of her monthly visits to see hov the girl was progressing, she held up her hands in amazement. "Lor' bless me, Miss Margaret, I never did see such a change! Well, Black-heat- h must agree with you, and these ladies must be doing their duty for you to look so well. I should think you must weigh double what you did whin you came here." But it was nothing more than freuh air and wholesome food and the absence of fear that had wrought the miracle. For the first time in her life Peg's little mind and body were having f&.ir play, and they responded gratefully to it. It was a great disappointment to the girl when! the midsummer holidays arrived to find that she was to spend them at Pomona Villa, in company with Miss Tarbrush, whose parents lived in Calcutta. But so it had been arranged by Ruthven from the beginning. THAT ADDRESS ON EGYPT. prof Petrle Holds That Arabs ; lt will make things less awk- iw f enshe goes to school."

M . ;' Meanwhile, Peg feeling? at the contemplated O'Reilly's in her life change were very mixed. This poor child, who had been reared In a work-housmade the drudge of a grocer's wife, and a waif, of the streetshad yet preserrod amidst all her wanderings an instinctive knowledge that she was capable of better things. With the face and form of a child of ten years old, she had the prematttrely forced mind of a woman twice that which began to show itself as soc-- age, as ever it was placed in a congenial atHer first feelings, when mosphere. 9 .

'park-lik- e Ruthven carried her off so unceremoniously to his house, had been those of fear and curiosity; but she had fallen into the customs and manners of c'vil-ize- d life so naturally, as almost to incline one to believe it could not be her first introduction to them. Her conversations' with the house keeper; had imbued her with a terrible shame; of her past life, whilst those with Hamilton Shore had given hjr a thirst to raise herself above even its recollections. But beyond all thi. as her mind awakened to a consciousness of the utter want of ciaim she hac upon Ruthven's benevolence and generosity, came the deep, heartfelt gratitude which she never ceased to er.ter-tai- n for him. She was very shy still with her patron, andtotally powerless to express her feelings toward him, But If ever a girl believed a man to be more than iportal, Peg O'Reilly, in her silent adoration, credited James Rutfcven with that attribute. She was sadly disappointed when Mrs. Garrett affirmed she would never be a lady; but she had heard! what Lake Addison said tc-- his friend on the subject, and she determined she would try to be one, for Jluthyen's sake. There was a great lamentation on the part of Hamilton Shore when he found 'research for such pupils as were ...jdntr ppnlocv. As this fact was f to defound, however, on discovery, and cause press the spirits of parents, be dethem to imagine they might as ceived in other particulars' as .well the grounds, the Misses Prism always imhastened to correct the erroneous e would-bpression by assuring their patrons that they only received young ladies of the highest families, and from the most select circles of society.

With the Copt this is quite different; his fathers have been scribes for thousands of years. Observation of these people leads to the view that the average man cannot receive much more knowledge than his immediate ancestors. Our bigoted belief in reading and writing is not in the least justified when we look at the mass of mankind." Concluding, he said: "It is the business of anthropology to step in and make a knowlhalf-witte- d, j edge of other civilizations a part of all decent education. The origin and utility of the various customs and habits need to be pointed out, and in what way they are reasonable and needful to the well being of the community. And, above all, we ought to Impress on every boy that this civilization in .which he grows is only one of innumerable experiments in life that hav been tried; that it is by no means the only successful one, or, perhaps, not the most successful, that there has been, that there are many other solutions of the problems of community and culture which are as good as our own, and that no one solution will fit a different race.

Where no literature is available a vivid study of the nature of the practical working of their civilization should take its place." PEN POINTS. All good men don't make good husbands. What we know about yesterday doesn't seem to help us much with tomorrow. The world contains many "tired women" who wouldn't rest if they had the opportunity. A woman won't lie for her own sake nearly so easily as she will for the sake of somebody else. Most sentiment is liable to mildew if not carefully looked after. Cupid shoots his arrow through a pocketbook when he doesn't take aim. A woman can't be any more constant than a man, but she can keep it up much longer. Cupid is represented as a child, because an adult Cupid would be chased out of the country for reckless shooting. Omaha Canal Scheme.
