A HERO'S LOVE.The Fulfords were in a great fusf
about sotting thoir daughter Millicentmarried.
To bo mire, they were always in a fust-bou- t
somothiriA? father, mother, sous,dauvhtoni and all.
Could the whole Fult'orj family btboiled down in one quadruped, aud thatquadrued a hunter, it would undoubt-edly prove what is known to Nimrotls at--
miner.The Fulfords are all alike in a Rood
many things. They are none of them inthe least clever; but in thitt they re-semble the immense majority of theirneighbors. Ktill 1 have wondered andwondered bow it in thut with really suchrabbit-lik- e brains they do not mako utterhhipwreoks of their lives. I have par-tially HU'eeeded in solving the mystery.
First, their stupidity does not lie inhe direction of not know hi 15 how to tuke;nre of their money, of winch they pos-ws- s
a irood 1I011I. Jistrossed friends,flash speculators, and. indeed, the wholecrew of "bleeders," as tbe .shinit termhas it, millit appeul to them eternally invain. They have no heart and no ambi-tion.
Serondly, although the world is quiteaware what btnall fry intellectually tbeFulfords are, yet practically, and erhapnon that very aecount. the world is rathurfond of theui, and ueLsasif it eould moreeasily spare a better family. You secthey are u living compliment to everyoneelse the foil, or background, auainstwhich superior people, ami the stilllarser class of those-- who iiue'V them-selves superior, shine out.
Those who envy them-thei- i;o()d looksH'od means neither of which, by
the bye, are very tritnendous owe themno pruiljre for tlieso because consoled bytheir meutal Khorteominus and generallack of social weinht.
Thirdly, they take their life easily to adexrec marvelous iu people w ho are notphilosophers. "It is due to their dines- -
tious, womtertitl constitutions, etc., saysthe world, and 110 doubt that has muchto do with it.

in the higher sense of i do word, they aronot only lairlyauoetinuiiie one to another.but are quite ns cnpalde of falling in loveas other people. Ami I Ins is what happenol to Millicent a couple of years agoaud hence probably why she tins "bungtire so, ns people express U.
ion see .Millys attachment was nutone where there was any immediate prospect of marriattc. Allan I'auierou was avery nice young N'oti hiuan, and lookedverv hraw in his klit at the t iilcuoiiitinball, where Milly-tirs- t met hinu Hutwell shaped knees and a wide cheatthough solid enough in their way, are nota louuilutton to marry upon not, that isin civilized aoeiety. It was true ho hadother recommendations which, thouulmore calculated to please the father olthe girl, had still not the irrefrng.inleclaims of a landed estate or a banker sbook. When quite yoiintr he had rpiested to be put to commercial pursniis
and to have his younger son s portion tie- -voted to getting him a start in a greatmerchant s countinuhouse iu Bristol.
Me had learned V iencli aud (Serinaninhissimro hours: had won the coutidouce of his employers by his industryand punctuality, aud now. at
had already been scut twice tot hina ami Japan ly the lirui. ami was iuas nromi.'-iu- a liosiiim to biM'ome oneday a partner am! die a very rich mail asany young fellow in the same noble yetnot walk of life. Still, forthe moment bis income was only awar. nor could he and .M illicent, w henthev had come to the Mage of disettsfing
devise any feasible plan forM retching it to a higher figure. Shelike all the Fulfords, was to have flO.OOObut that, a the lovers well knew, was :i
reason altogether ugtiitist dreatniug ofpapa s consent instead ol hoping
tor itThey were easy-goin- g people, J'apa aud
Mamma Fulford; quite incapable ofstrong demonstrations of auger or indignation. They knew nil about uie l lv
flirtation; tor that matter italways went on before their eyes, andwas devoid of the flimsiest nUcmpt atfoiieealtnent : but they supposed all youngpeople nirieu moro or tecs, auu u meythought any further about it, theywere rather sorry for these oor youngfools, who had got the lovo-fev- sobadly, aud wore quite distressed that itenubl never be.
"You know you'll break that youugman's heart," said old Fuliord, atheti-eall- y,
to his child ouo day he happenedto have nothing else tojtay.
"Nouseuse, apa. I'm sure I shan't. ,:
"It's nonsense, of course, but ho maykeep serious suitors away."
"And why shouldn't he be a seriottssuitor?'' veutured Milly, blushiug.
"That's good," said papa, "why hehasn't twopence. To be sure, it cuts twoways, i mean the bulling about you. ItattracU other wooers."
"Oh, papa, what a shame! I'm sure ifpoor Allau heard "
"That's good again. I'oor Allnu isgood."
"And suppose I choose to marry him?"said the young lady, fiariug up and stamp-in- g
a rery T'ctty loot,"Then, my dear," said the fond father,
iniperturbably, "I shouldn't gire yea onefarthing."
And tha girl badj't tbe slightest doubtdue ha tncaut what ha said.
A short timo after the abort little aon- -

"What are yon abotit, mother?" askedJames, the'second son. Ie evidentlythought a mother was a sort of busband-hnutiu- g
hound, and sure to bring downher quarry if properly urged to it.
"Well, my dearest Jim. what run I do?I take her everywhere. I've told her it'sridiculons her not going off.'
Absurd." -
"And it makes people laugh at m,'"Thcu Howard, the eldest hope of tho
Fulfords, lounged in. !
"hh! talkniL' of JMillv? Oh ves. youknow. 1 say datth it all, mother, something must 10 done!" aud he putfedaway at n cigarette he was consuming, ashe thought oven that form of cuergymight do good to the cause they had onhand. -
" That s what I said Jim."If, instead of droning on 'something
must bo done,' you would kindly informme from the depth of your wisdom whatthat something is" begun poor Mrs.t ulford, growing shrill and angry.
u'n i:., i.. .,..ii.linixril llUlt'i .'IdlCl, ifKUlllHoward, soothingly. I'm not a man ofideas myself, but when I hear one drop-ped by another fellow, if I thiuk it'sworth anything, I've sense enough-- topick it up. Now,- Bangs was saying theother day "
Lord Uangs is the planet to whomHoward does moou, always, in fact, keep-ing his face toward him, as our moondoes to us. unless she hanueus to haveanother face on the other side, but I can'tenter into that.
The Fulfords are all toadies, but honest ones, who scoru to conceal the facttrom anvono.
Well. Bangs was baying that all thesuccessful man-hunte- now "
"The what?" chorused his mother andJim. '
'Well, match-hunter- s or s;
it's all the same. He says you may go onhunting tho species forever aud do nogood. Where was I? I wish 'youwouldu t stop me lor a word. ( Hi, 1know! Bangs says that all the successful sportswomen single out the particu-lar kind of game they meau to stalk, audthen deliberately huut him down."
UyJove! a rare idea! cried Jim,who always admired what his brotheradmired, especially if there was a lordin tho case. JJut how tho dickenseould a chap like Bangs!" a chap likeIvings! I his, mark you, is very muchbehind Bangs's back, a little unstringingof the bow "like Jiangs, who isu tthirty, aud has no girls oi auy sort to
"marry"My dear Jim, interrupted his elder
brother from the hight of his superiority, "he's a stag!"
A stag!"Of course, old stupid. He's learned
all about hunting by (lint of being hunt-ed, and he says some of these liotidonAmazons are so deuced clever that hobelieves they'll catch him by sheer wear-ing him down. He tells mt 'Howard,old man,' he says, 'if ever you hear thatI'm knocked on the head "
"F.h!" gasped poor .Mrs. Fulford."Married, mother: married, .dnrried.
or knocked on the head, is all the samething when you talk of a man; but if aifirl mates urettv decent lv. whv she isthought to have got u prize in life's lottery won ti victory, in tact. Uangs says,mother, if ever he marry, 1 may say.
h. poor devil! lie couldn't sty mlbciug hunted tiny uioiv.' "
where should they und a stag lorMill v? That, was a cabinet onesfion nmlrequired a council of all the Fulfords,iucluding a few friends.
Banns s idea was much aMdaudcd.likewise Howard's prodigious sharpnessiu picking it up.
t.atneron mignt po to inc. uuiuooi peu-nile-
lovers. Nobody cared. He wasn'ta stag.
Now for it! On whom were thev totrv their ncw-louu- system? Old rul- -ford talked a preat deal, but all he reallvsaid was that the thing ought to be sim-pl- o
euougli; the girl was good-lookin-
as all allowed, and he gave her .10,(sV.At last it became evident that the
actual uiarkiug of tho quarry waa beyondthe 1 uliordian liiiaiuatlou, aud therewas a general call upon an old JLadyWall a woman who iu ber dav hadhooked husbands for three planish MissWalls with much cleverness to tuke uptho work.
"Well," sho said, "I can't sec the difficultv."
So much uioriority provoked a mur-mur of surprised approval. There was asilence. Then Mr. Fulford said:"o reullv enn't V011Y"
"Have you ever fieard," pursued herladyship, "of 'Hoist with his ownpetard?'
No; the Fulfords only know Shakes- -
loare from going occasionally to thLyCHtiui Theater, and as they seldomlisten tulkiug a good deal, aud luokinirmore at the people than the stage thoirknowledge ot our greatest bard is of themost limited kind.
"Well, then, 'Caught inhisow u trap?'lsked Lady Wall, bringing down herlaiiguutfo to the meanest capacity with illiliHirutsed contempt.
"Oil yes, we know that," eried aH tVeFulfords, quite proudly.
"Then, there yon have it," concludedthoir eouucilor. "What say you to myplan r
No, not Fulford understood herShe very nearly swore.
J 'ear, dear, she Durst torth ; youare all very stupid." '
They took this or a good joke, andlaughed qmto pleasantly.
"TVm't you see that tile very manstag, as you call him who ki waiting toboBtalkcd. is no other than this same no-ble viscount, Lord Bangs himself?" climaxed her ladyship.
So bold an idea was such a bombshellto the r nllord brain that it very nearlvburst it.
Thcro was very little time to be lostfor it was already the end of June. Thefuss, the hurry, the want of all delicacyand disguise, which would have provedfatal in so many cases, were just whatfavored the Fulfords iu the pursuit of aman I beg his pardon, a lord who wasknocking under simply, as he had beforeexpressed IU to that traitorons friendHoward, to escape tor life from the clat-ter, the row, the uutiring aud transparentstratagems of a venery where the huntersknow neither pause nor discnuraiiofuentignore alike both fatigue, as concernsthemselves, or pity forthc poor creaturesthey pursue. .
it In ti three weeks the marriage wasarranged, line spectator of this Hfaugevet. common chase our friend AllenCameron looked on in tin' innocence othis soul, at first with ineredulita, thenw ith amazement, at last with alarm. Hehail not lieen enough in first slcictv tohave lost his sense of right and wrong.
V hen he finally realized the positionhe resolved, as any brave young ellowwould, not to see his lilo wrecked, andwhat to him came far before that, not tosutler tamely that the girl ho lov4 should1h! sold like a Greek slaw to tho hichestbidder, without making ouu bold effort toset matters right to keep what be hadwon. 11c sought and obtained, withouopposition from auy quai'tcr, an interviewwith .Mclliecut alone.
"What is tbe incaninr ot this?" hsaid, tinder his brrnth. with a desjH'rateeffort to stickv to the resolution ho hadmade that he would be quiet aud gentlethroughout. They were quite far fromone another, parted by almost the entirebreadth of the room.
"I'm very sorry, very sorry indeedAllan, but it can't be helied," she began
"Sorry! you say you aro sorry vonstill call mo by the old name, aud yet yousay it can t ho hehx'd.
"Oh. 1 am sorry you insi.-Ke- on seciugme: it can do no good," said the.
"But 1 am iu the dark, do) you hear?ou loved me you lovo me still I
know it '
"1 do. There, I tell you so honestly"Thcu why, by all that's sacred, arc
you marrying another man?'"Listen to me,'' aud she told him, as
well a she eould, how she must get outof the way of. her two bisters be"shunted," her brothers oalled it-- Howshe was not preferring a rich niat-e- with-out love to a poor ono with it; but (bather marriage with Lord Baugs was by.tacriticiujf her ow n feelings to duty, atleast possible, whereas a union with Al-lan was impossible at all eveuts for veryuinuv years. -
"Oh, dou't mistake ine."sbooutiuued."If I had only tuv own bappiuess to con-sult."
"But that makes it all the worse,'' heurged. "It you told roe your feeling forme had chauged "
"Thev never can.""And" does Lord lianas know this?""1 told him I was very loud of you,
aud could not pretend 1 was in love withhim."
"And what did ho say?""He laughed, and said every nymph
had her shepherd, cf course, that reallove only came to women after marriage,that ha was neither jealous nor wnti-meota- l;
and oh, Allan, what do youthink he anded with?'' - -
"Why, he baid I might ha quita easy
for that, though he wished to marry mc,he wasn't romantically in love himself.'
The man s a brute, burst forth theiMttlff SdAti'tiniflTi It m lunmiiu vminave a heart, and have given it foreverto me, that I will move heaven and earthto save your happiness, and my own too,bf they are oue.

Jiut. Allan, my parents have arranged settled even-thing-
. I am lww--erless in their hauds. Thoy leave mc no
hoion: thev nrovo to me that it mustbe. Ik) not urge me to sinful rebel-lion."
And is it no sin. . to love oneman aud wed auother? To perjure your-Bc- lf
at the altar of God?""That 8 just what I said to impa. and
he told me that all those things are conventional: that everv ono knows themarriage service is put into our mouths,and that we have no choice as to the ex-
act expressions. He said if the contract- -log parties mean to oe miiuiui ana Kinato each other, nothiug more is requiredof tbeui, either spiritually or socially.Oh, we had quite a long talk about it, Iassure you.
During this speech. Cameron hadgradually drawn quite. close to her, andwas now looking quite hard into her eyesto see if sho was dealing with himfrankly.
les, there could be no doubt; the girl.if blinded by sophistries, was, yet withoutguile.
During all this colloquy he had nevercalled her by name, though she ad-
dressed him as Allan as simply as if theirrelations had never changed.
1'erbaDS he waited to see if she deserved it ; or did he keep the power thatis inherent in .such terms to try a lastappeal?
lie made it now. latins her unresisting hand in both his own, ho said :
"Did 1 not know you so well I shouldthink you were acting a part. Millymy own Milly! it were better better farin the sight of heaven, believe me thatyou should fly with me this night thanfulfill this cursed engagement. I do notsay I shall urge that. I will think, de-
liberate, pray. Only tell nie, Milly, thatyou will never wed Lord Bangs."
t in, 1 cannot, lou should nut urgeme, indeed you snouiu not. I nave prom-ised papa and mamma."
And she began to try ana twist nerhand away from him, and her wholeaspect became ons of perplexity andalarm.
For a moment the young man thoughthe should lose bis seuses.
What was to be dono with such n girl?She owned she had for him what shecalled love, yet was that love whichwould not submit to cither guidance orcoercion?
The solution lav in a word, but It wasquite beyond Allan Cameron.
She was a r nllord!How lone the painful conference miuht
have lasted 1 am unable to say, but atthis point steps and Voices were heardapproaching, anil in another moment nr.r uuoru uuu j.auj uu cuicreo. meroom.
Ah, Cameron, bow mc you? Won'tyou stav and lunch .' 1 his is queer newsf the House of Lords."Such was the perfectly easy greeting
of Milly's father to tbe man whosewreck he had succeeded in accoinpliyh-ing- .
Lady W nil's was very different.Kissing Millicent with effusion, she
bestowed au inclination of the head uponher lover much ruder than any cut direct.
1 he fact is. her ladyship bad made warfor mt many years' of her life upon "det-rimentals, ' that she continued after allher daughters were married to hatothemtrom habit.
l'oor Allan bad but one distinct feeling at the moment. A longing to escapefrom thcui all, aud to bo alone. Muttcr- -
iug u few words of excuse and farew ell.he rushed into the street, strode off tohis solitary lodging, and locking himselfin. he flumr himself upon his bed andsobbed aloud.
He felt that his happiness in this worldwas over.
Aud Millicent married Lord Buuas.and the twins came out with uo obstruction in the shape ot an attractive eldersister.
All the Fulf rds reioieed and cackledover their handiwork like so many geeseJ ust at first for a week or two his lordship was rather happy. It was a change,you know.
nven JUUlioeut nearly ciijoved herhoneymoon.
After that the marriage turned out liktwo out of every three which are botchedup on the above fashionable plan shockingly ill.
Lord Banjrs thought himself far toocharmina a fellow for anv one woman tomonoiolize, and tho scandals of his lifebecame one ot the favorite themes of society, Kiuiy society, which. was alwayslooking forward to the further little ex-citement ot her ladyship "serving, himout. bv bolt in if' with one of her linsband's friends, was doomed, in this particular, to disappointment.
The F'ulfords don't bolt. At least thefcmalo Fulfords.
It is from tho merest chance, I admit,nnd 1 don't think they themselves couldtell you why, but it is the fact. She hatesher husband, and owns she has quite lostany high principles she may once havepossessed ; but everything now is said to1 hereditary, ami she doesn't inherittho bolting weakness; that, no doubt.must he it.
f her old lover she has ouly heardvaguely and at long intervals. He hadabandoned the desk when bis M ill v abandoned him, and contracted thenceforthway ol turning up in remote quartersof tbe globe, ami always as perl'orniinsdeeds decidedly quixotic. At one momcnt fighting desperately in Mexico, atanother crforiuiiig prodiiries as a volunteer against the pirates of the China seashe seemed to be ever courting death iuthe glamour of excitement, and so fiveyears rolled away.
Lady Barn's was sitting with ber threechildren one mornintr herself skimmingthe M'irnintj W, an easy task, for thewhole croup were a melancholy asyoung duchess. Not that anything hadnapiH'iied. but simply because they wereso nice and grand.' .""uddeuly .Millicent uttered a iaiut cryaud placet! her hand to her heart.
the little honorables betray a verytaint, well bred surprise.
Her eye has just lit upon a paragraphheaded A liero, and relating howAllau ( amcron. in an attempt tosailor boy, swept overboard in a gale, byjumping after him, had at last met thatdentil iu tho Indian Occau which ho hadapparently long sought iu vain.
The. eldest, child, a lovely boy, andMilly's favorite, tries ujmju her the rem-edy of a caress.
See. she repels him !
Well, just uow. no offspring of herlord's is likely to give her comfort.
For a few seconds white as marbloshe gazes iuto space, then murmuring:
"My God. my God!" falls back iu aparoxysm of tears.
How is this? Has she can it be possi-ble that she has loved him all these years.
Hut then, by all that's reasonable, why.if her love w as so great, so true, why didshe originally ?"

hcibre that: it then began to pointWestward, and this westward variationcontinued to increase until 1816, wdienthe maximum Was attained; it has sincesteadily diminished, and in l'JTo' it willagain point to tho true north. Prof.Thompson says that the changes whichhave beeu observed, not ouly iu the di-
rection but in the strength of the earth'smagnetism show that the same causeswhich originally magnetized the earthare still ut work; and, strangely enough,these changes do not occur at loug inter-vals in the course of centuries, but arcgoing on from day to day, from week toweek, aud from year to year.

Alexis and Amelie, nf Orleans.The Graud Duke Alexis, of Bus.sin.
whose tall figure and blonde beard arewell remembered in this country, is at lastgoine to settle down. Of all the brothersof the present Car, he was., says the New-Yor-
isi'rt, the oue who cn.i vjed a ratherwild bachelorhood longer than any other;He is already thirty-thre- e years old, andingoing to marry a girl ot eighteen, thePrincess Amelie of Orleans, eldestdauehter of the Count of I'aris. Thedifficulty which arose upon religiousgrounds has been bridged over. The lawot Russia requires everv princess marry-ing into the house of BomanotT to jointhe Greek Church, but as Alexis has notthe remotest chance of ever coming tothe throne, bis future wife litis beenallowed to remain a Catholic. She willbe the first French and Catholic princessadmitted into this family. The Roman-offs have hitherto invariably marriedGemini girls, with tlie exception of thepresent Czar, who married a DanishprinOess, now transformed into one nfthemost orthodox members of the GreekChurch. Since the involuntary retire-ment of his uncle, the Graud Duke Con-stantino, Alexis has become admiral ofthe Kussiau fleet and Lead of the wholenavy of the empire.
VCcmep. nn' IVe'r.Tin AntiJinifi: In every age women
have been excelled iu poetry by men.Coleridge used to fay that a woman'shead was generally over ears in herheart: and if the heart be the sent ofpoetry, women ought, on that hypothesis,to be the best poets. But to einpl iy Mr.Kobert.-Mii'- ('( , it iscperiooee lilter-lii- g
through the heart that gives us i reatiiaotry; and of the dee'-es- t and widestexperience women, in the nature of oursocial life, know less than men. Theyare often endowed with a larger capacityfor joynusuess, and .sometimes with tidecjier well of potentiality for suffering,but thoy sec less and feel less than theother sex: and because they live lessthey must lie less great where greanessdepends largely on creat cxierience. Mr.Robertson ures other reasons for thepoetical inferiority of women, and promi-nent among these is thedoctrine of the domestic mission ofwoman which makes children thepoems that Providence meant her to pro-duce. This is not beg-'in- g the question.True it may be that no less than !ixtywomen are now living who write versethat would have nude, in some sort, thejvputatioirsof as many men as many yearsago. . But to the clear question whicha book like this suggests: Have woineubeen excelled by men iu poetry? noamount of chivalry will enable a critic togive any but a blunt and barbarous reply.
Parlon's "Voltaire" a Failure.The London correspondent of the New

"The book was published. 1 thiuk,at two guineas, or perhaps a iiuineaaud ahalf. It may bo bought, by anybody whothinks it worth the money, for ten shil-lings, and is not, perhaps, a dear book atthat price two largo octavo volumes of1300 pages; and with an index, too. Itwas sharply reviewed on its appearancetwo yearsago, and deserved all thesbarp-ncss- .
And yet I know a man versed inthe eighteenth century literature ofFrance who declared he bad read thisLife of Voltaire from the page to thelast, and was sorry he reached thelast! Perhaps that little anecdote willhelp console Mr. Parton for the justseverity of his English critics."

A Curious Statement.The game of billiards was invented
about the middle of the sixteenth century by a London pawnbroker named
llliam rvew. In wet weather this i
pawnbroker was in the habit of taking !
down the three balls, and with the yard-stick pushing them, billiard fashion, fromthe counter iuto the stalls. In time theidea of f. board with side pocketa sug-gested itse-lf- . A lilavk-lcttf- r thitn'tsci;)says: "Master William Kew did make'one board whereby a game is played withthree balls, and all tbe youug men aregreatlv recreated thereat, chiefly theyoung clergymen from St. Pawles; henceone ot ye stokes was called a cannon,having rjeen by one of ye said clergymeninvented.
