My dear, dear grandfather, you carry wisdom with you! Oh, wise, You have made wise grandfather! me happy to a degree!" Very well, but aay not that I gave you auch counsel. When your father speaks to me, as he is certain to do, then 1 will say such and such words to him; but my words In your mouth will be a great offence, and Tory Justly so, for It Is hard to carry words, and carry nothing else. Your dear mother how Is she?" Well and happy. But my father Is not so happy. I can see that be Is wearied of everything. Not here. Is his heart. It Is in England. If of Liberty I now speak to him, be has a smile so hopeless that both sad and angry it makes me. No faith hr.s he left In any man, except Washington; and I thlr.k, also, he Is disappointed that Washington was not crowned King George the First. At this point in the conversation Van Ueemsklrk was called to the door matter and about some business his grandwith alone was left George mother. She put the cups quickly side, down, and going to George's said: Cornelia Moran spends this evening with her friend Aronta Van Arlens. Well then, would thou like an excuse to call on Arenta? Do you Indeed Oh, grandmother! Can you Bend me know Arenta? there?" Since she was one month old I have This morning, she known Arenta. came here to borrow for her Aunt Jacobus my Ivory winders. For thy pleasure I will get them, and thou canst take them this evening to Arenta. O you dear, dear grandmother! and he stood up, and lifted her rosy face between his hands and kl&sed her. Get me the winders, grandmother; for now you have given me a reason to hurry. Then she went Into the best parlor, and opening one of the shutters let In sufficient light to find In the drawer of a little Chinese cabinet some Ivory winders of very curious design and workmanship. She folded them In soft tissue paper and banded them to her grandson with a pleasant nod ; and the bis young man slipped them Into pocket, and then went hurriedly away. Doubting and hoping, he reached tue Van Arlens' house soon after seven oclock. It was not quite dark, and Jacob Van Arlens stood on the stoop, smoking his pipe. Good evening, sir, said George Is Miss Van with smiling politeness. Arlens within? Yes. But company she Vvithln? watchful said the has father, as he stood suspicious and Immovable in the entrance. I have come with a message to Mias Vn Arlens. answered A very fine messenger! Van Arlens,' slightly smiling. A fine lady deserves a fine messenger. But, sir, If you will do my errand for me, I am content I have brought from Madame Van Heemskirk some Ivory winders for Madame Jacobus. Come In, come In, and tell my Arenta the message thyself. Welcome art thou! and Van Arlens himself opened the parlor door, saying: Arenta, here Is George Hyde. A to-nig- when any one abtses a great man in your presence, ask them what kind of people they admire. You will certainly be consoled. Hyde, casting his eyes a moment on this tall, man, whose cold blue eyes and red hair emphasised the stern anger of his whole appearance, was well disposed to leave the scurrilous Englishman to his power of reproof. t Riding hard. It was quite nine when he drew rein at the door of Richmond Hill. Thus far, he had suffered himself to be carried forward by the Impulse of his heart, and he still put firmly down any wonder as to what he should say or da He was shown Into a bright little parlor with open windows. A table, elegantly and plentifully spread, occupied the center of the room; and sitting as It were the vice president and Mrs. Adams and also their only daughter, the beautiful, but not very intellectual, Blrs. Smith. Mr. Adams met him with genuine, though formal kindness; Blrs. Smith with courtesy, and the vice president rose bowed handsomely, hoped he we well, and then after a minutes reflection said: We were talking about the n- - Bel. .itict Explains How Glorious Sun- sets Ar Formed. Prof. T. J. J. See of the United States navy has observed the color of tho sky In various altitudes in high mountains, and in dry and moist countries, such as Egypt and Greece, and Arisons and the Mississippi valley. His conclusion Is that the besotlful red colors of sunsets and sunrises so much spoken of by Greek and Roman writers, and so often Illustrated In landscape painting, arise from water vapor In the lower layers of our atmosphere, absorbing the blue and transmitting the red light According to Dr. See, the reddish colors come from that part of our air within five miles of the earth's surface, wfille the deep hlus of the sky arises from reflections of minute particles In the higher parts of our atmosphere. The water vapor does not extend very high, clouds never rising higher than ten miles above the earth. The blue streaks cast by clouds at sunset show that the red arises near the earth, while the blue has its seat very high up. Above our atmosphere the sky has all the blackness of the darkest d half-pas- enthusiasms and welcomes dissipated 11 constraints, and Hyde placed his chair among the happy group and fell easily Into his most charming mood. They sang, they played, they had a game at whist, and everything that happened was In some subtle, secret way, a vehicle for Hydes love to express Itself. t About nine, a negro came with Cornelias cloak and hood. George folded the warm circular round Cornelias slight figure; and then watched her tie her pretty pink hood, managing , amid the pleasant stir of to whisper some words that sang all night like sweetest music in her heart At the leave taking he heard a few words which gave him a delightful assuianre of coming satisfaction. For as the two girls stood In the hall, Arenta eaid: You will come over in the morning, Cornelia?" Cornelia. "I cannot, answered After breakfast I have to go to Richmond II111 with a message from my mother to Blrs. Adams. And George, hearing these words, could hardly control his delight For he was one of Mrs. Adams favorites, and so much at homo in her house that he could visit her at any hour of the day without a ceremonious Invitation. He took a merry leave of Arenta, and went directly to his rooms. Tis my destiny! Tis my happy destiny to love her! he said softly to himself. I shall tell Mrs. Adams how far gone I shall In love I am, he continued. say to her, Help me, madame, to an opportunity; and I think she will not As for my father, I heard refuse. him this morning with as much patience as any Christian could do; but I am resolved to marry Cornelia. I will not give her up; not for an earldom! Not for a dukedom! Not for the crown of England! Jorls Hyde allowed the sweet emotions Cornelia had inspired to have, and to hold, and to occupy his whole being. Sleep was a thousand leagues away, and he flung bpen the casement and sat In a beatitude of blissful hopes and imaginations. And after midnight, when dreams fall, the moon came up over Nassau and Cedar streets and threw poetic glamors over the antique churches, and grassy graveyards, and the pretty and houses, covered with vines budding rosebushes; and this soft shadow of light calmed and charmed him. It Is a sign to me! It Is a sign! So will I put away every baffling hindrance between Cornelia and myself. Barriers will only be as those vaporous clouds. I shall part them with my strong resolves I shall I shall I " and he fell asleep with this sense of victory thrilling his whole being. half-pas- leave-taking- ANOTHER LIFE SAVES. Mrs. 0. W.
