Tllli PUWER OF LOVE,
There wan no resisting such an ap¬ peal, and Clarence leil the way to the depot restaurant and oflercJ his eoanin the bill of fare. It being ono of his great points in lemiume pcrlcetion that the appetite nhoaUl be delioate and Deeding coaxiog, ho wna nbso- latcly shocked to sec .Myra Delnoo oat. Such an indiscrimicato jumble of provisioDS wonl I have madu his mother ili for a moatb; bnt .Mvra heartily enjoyed steok, eggii, coffie, pie, rolls, cakes, oysters, anything and everything, as tho waiter put it before ber.
Sbe wifb not rude, did oot eat nith her knife or her lingers ; but she hal not oue of Ihe little dainty tricks of manlier that mado Mrs. Parker's table etiquette so charming; and Clarence, trilling with his oirn Innchoon, won¬ dered if in six meals hu ooal.1 eat aa mncb as thil "siitiaw" eat in one. In his own mind he cLriatened her "squaw," though ho was fnr too courteous ever to ppenk so of her, even to bia mother.
All through tho long drive home, ehe chatted, Irnnkly as a child, of her journey, her home, har anticipations of ploasuro in her vitit, and, whilo ber voice was clear, riuj^ing and mnsioa', her language was well chosen, giving no jur to GUrenco'u fastidious taate, tLouuh hs wished her tone more Bub- dued. Uut her dowdy bat, her cotton gloves, her stout leather boots, her untidy hair ware all an offense.
In bis lirst honr alone with bis mother, ho implorod her tu buy some dresses for their guest that wero not two sizes to big and seven sizes too short.
And Mrs, P.trkor, utterly over¬ whelmed by the tall, bandi^ome girl thrown upon her care, fonnd her life suddenly burdened witb unwonted rc- SDonsibility. First, there was a daily fight to settle between Lucille, her own Frenoh maid, and Myra.
"Bul, madame, tbe dresses ncvaro will fil, ncvare, if mam'seUe will not wear ze corset, or let me make zc fit," tbe maid woulJ protest.
"I cannot breathe, all pressed up so, Cousin Clara," Myra would remon¬ strate, "I sbonld stide in an hour."
It was difficult to compromise, but Mr3. Parker, by exercising thc patience nnd gentleness natural to bor, finally jirese^nted Myra in a well- choseu wardrobo that gave ber the freedom of lungs and movement she craved, and yet set off the magnificent figure.
The girl's own utter ignorance of dress amazed tho little laily of fashion. She found that a balf-jearly visit to tbe nearest town, nn order to tbe dress¬ maker to make warm drosses (or win¬ ter and cool ones for sninmer, com¬ prised Myra's idea of dress. Scrup¬ ulously cleanly, she was absolute); without vanity, and as pleased as a child to uuto tUo improvement in her looks produce! by a becoming ar¬ rangement of ber abundant raven hair, and tbe tasteful bronch of bright color in ber carefully appointed dress.
The flrst time Clarence saw her in a dress ol black silk tissue with a dash ul vivid crimson here and there.at the throat, in the glossy braids of bair, the sash and sleeve knots, bo waa ab¬ solutely amazed at ber beauty.
"If only she was uot such a savage," be thought, regretfully.
But there was not oue bour of the day tbat she did uot jar upon bis fas¬ tidious ideas. Uo roJo with her at her request, nud tuld hij mother, oonfldeutiiilly, that ho never imagined anything bnt an Indian ur a circus rider oould so manage a horse.
Ue sang wilh her, sud fuuud that he must actually exert bimself to prevent his deep baritone notes being over¬ powered by ber tinging, powerful voice, fnll of sweetness aud,musia, Imt utterly uucultivated.
Ho fouud hrr in tho garden, driv¬ ing tho gardener distracted by her criticisms npou his plants, and prov¬ ing all her theories by transferring roots witb her own hauda to sputs of her own selection, wheru they invari¬ ably improved.
lie cangbt her in tho woods, prac¬ ticing with a rovolver, shooting ut a mark; aud sbe pathetically lold bim sbe was all ont of practice, aud only hit her mark six times iu nine.
"1 suppose   there ia uu   shooting to be bad here?" ahe raid, dulefully, and then   described   bunts bho hsd   taki witb   ber   father, in tbe   far   Weiti' woods and   plain', as il ehootinK f aud squirrels were every day alTai a young ladjr'a life.
Every day Clarence fuuud prejudice rn lely aho.'ked ami day be found new fascination in ' societv. There waa an irres' charm iu Ibo very fraukncas ..ei mannner,tbe daring ol lier movenientu, tbat were Iree as a cbild'n but never awkward or abrupt.

Aud yet she had an instiuctive avuid ance uf auy uncouth or rudf speieh or lu-t. Aa Clarence ouee tuld his mother,   he was thoroughly ueutlemaiily. She tuld Mrs. Parker onco, in a auddeu lit uf sharaefacelucas fur 'jer iK'uorance of Wiimauly duties,that she mver kuew a la ly. Her falher was uut willing tu U«v.- her ass.j.-iato wiih the nei;;hlii>rH wives ur tbeir daui;hters, aud their only serv.iut was an uld sailur, who eooke I for them. .411 aew.u^ was duue in town, aul seut uut to them, nnd wheu thu gariu-nta nee.led mending, they wuro Kent tu tbe orpbau   a^vlum.

F over a spoiled baby grew to a spoiled ehild, and BO to a spoiled mau, that baby, boy and man, or- rived at the hist meutioned stage D* ¦ "u u ^^ ^ about tho time Clarence Parker reached bia twenty- fifth year. His father left this scene of earthly cbango when Clarence was a crowing yonngeter of two years, and his mother, the sweetest tempered lit¬ tle woman to bo fonml. immediately commenced a system of indulgence ad¬ mirably calculated to mako n milksop of her only son an.l the heir to bis father's large estate.
That he did uot grow np vicious was probably due to tbo fact that be fairly idolized his mother, nud would not have grieved hor for any amount of self gratification. Also, it must be confessed, because he was too indolent to care to seek pleasure that did fall directly across bis path.
He had been educated by a private tutor, till he eotered college, had graduated there and traveled throngh Earope with his mother.
Mrs. Parker wns a little woman, a mere mite beside ber tnll, stalwart son, who called her by a thousand pet diminutive names, in half a dozen languages. She was bine eyed, fair haired and daintily pretty, neat to the extreme of nioely, gentle, low voiced and exquisitely feminine, yet withal with a well stored mind and au intel¬ lect that made ber a charming com¬ panion, even for ber oj'loge Hedged sou. Many a suitor had tried to wiu her from her ono devotion, but in vain. All her love that was oot ber sou's was buried in his father's grave, and she never pot off tbe soft grays, purples and neutral tints of second mourning.
"When you are married, Claire, I will buy ooe piuk rose in honor of the oocnsion," she wonld say. But al twenty-five, Clarenc'o bad never given her occasion to think of the pink rose.
I bave said he was spoiled, and in a certain sense be was. Witbout any vicious tendencies, be lacked tho am¬ bition and energy that sre tbe attri¬ butes of a true, manly uature. Tall, strong, in perfect health, handsome as A young Apollo, be was content to dawdle tiirongb life, speuding his am¬ ple income npon dress, jewelry, opera tickets, a well-appointed equipage, and the means of a lazy, nsoleea ex¬ istence. Aud bis mother, prond of his beanty, his polished courtesy of man¬ ner, his devotion to herself, askod no more.
Bnt sbe was a truly loving wumau, and when Clarence wns twenty-fire was willing to concede ber throne in his aflections to a younger, stronger love, the love that would brighten her son's life with home happiness when her scepter was in tbe coffin.
And half proudly, half regretfully, sbe recognized the fact that tlie ideal of womanhood he bad founded upon her example made him far too fastid- iourin his intercourse with the girls of modern society, .K loud voice an¬ noyed him. A brusque manner dis- gnsted him.
"When I find a youug lady as gen¬ tle, refined and lovely as yourself," he wonld say, "I will move heaven and earth to win her. Until tben, lat me enjoj my liberty."
Itwaaintbe late spring and Mn. Parker was preparing for her annual rruoval to her country aeat at Cheat- liii Hill, when a letter reached her from her conain and life-long friend in Ohio, begging her to taka charge of hia only daughter for a few months, while be was absent U|>ou a trip to tbe far West.    He wrote :
"You ha\*n ao olteu urged me to .illow Myrilo pay vou a villi tbut I ilo not hrsl- taia now to ask yuur hoaplialllv lor hi*!. I oaU'iiot weli takii ht-r wilh m-, tis wo aru a

There was mucb more, read alouJto Clarence, witb tbis explanation :
"My eoasin John became a beriuit wbeu hia wife died, teu years ai;.). He is w£iiltfay, and a mau nf learumiT, but be Na buried bimself for fears upou a lonely farm. 1 have urged b1^i of- ten to send Myra to a good schooH and let ber make her hume with me, but be said tbe child was his nnly comfort, and I believe they have been insepar¬ able from ber babyhood. Sbe is —lit mc see—ahe mnst bu uinetreu."
Clarence made a grimace.
"Wheu duos ahe come'?"   he  askcJ.
"Thursday. We shall beat Chest¬ nut Uill, but you cau como into the cily to meet hir."
"Certainly."
Aud al the appointed time, lu a faultless suit ol niimmer pray, Mr. Clarence Parker druve Lis carriage and coal-black h <rs"s to tho depot. The tram was ju't io, and ho watched the paaen^rrs stream by till nue an¬ swered his idias of hi.s expected oonain.

' earth, her mother instinct tanght her quickly Ihc reaFon of thecbaiigeinbim, tbe influence tbat was giving him an erect carriage, n now light ol energy in his great dork eyes, au added iuter¬ est in the affairs of his own fortune, seeking for channels where it might flow lo bcneflt others ns well as him¬ self. And reading the secret Clnrence ; ns yet did not himself suspect, Mri. Parker eiulto 1 in her benrl to see how I Myra was just aa surely bowing her Iree, frank noture to the yoke of lovt', softening her manner, toning down her joyous ringing voico, training her hands to womanly work.
Autumnal winds were scattering t'ae crimson leaves when John Delano came to New Yurk fur the flrst time in ten years, and was tbe guest of Mrs. Parker in hor city home, to whieh Iho family had just returned. Ue oame for Myra, thinking of ber happiness to come bnck to her free life, and she grew palo at his loving carees.
"What nils tho child?" ho nsked, turning to his cousin ns Myra loft tbe room. ",She was never so quiet as that io her lifo before."
"You will know soon, ,Tohn. No, you may know now!" said Mrs. Parker, pointing, as ehe spoke, across the hall to tho library, whero Clarenoo had risen os Myra enlerod. iTust ona loug look iuto tho two fncos sntislied tbo father.
"It will 1)0 well with her when I am gone," ho said, hnlf sadly; and when Clarcnco came to him to win bis con¬ sent to wed Myra he received him cordially and gladly.
"It will be lonely in tho old home," he said, nnd Myra, clinging to bim, besought him 10 go back no moro to the solitary life of the past,
"We neod yuu here," she pleaded; and Mrs. Parker cndursed tbe petition.
After the wedding of the young folks and their home-coming to the new houso Mrs. Parker insisted upon their occupying, Cousin John fell into Ihe habit of speuding his evenings with Clara. They were so lonoly, these middle-aged people, each de¬ prived of a companion of years. Thoy missed the "ohild" wbo had beon tbe center of all love for each, and, talk¬ ing often of tbeir mutual loss and gain, drew tbeir sore, lunely heart; into close communion, nntil Myra, walking in npoli her husband one moruiug, announced:
"Claire, I have beou fo soe your mother, and father was there, and— guess?"
"Well, I gnoss that after Ibis who¬ ever goes to bCo my mother will bo very likoly to fiud your father thoro."
"Vou know?"
"Not a word !    Is it settled?"
"Yes. 'fhey insist upon a quiet wedding in church, and we can coano to fret any longer about either ouo or Ihe other missing you or me,"
It was quite trno. Tbo ^owor of love that bad co softened and improved Myra, so ennobled Clarence, had drawn the bitterness of their earl; widowhood from tho hearts of John Delano and Clara Parker, and shed benign light over two happy homos.— New York Ledger,

Tbe suggestion was adopted. Tbo member passing thu best examination ia to be entitled to purimo, lor two years, the highest oourse iu American history taught by Barnard or Colum¬ bia College. At the end of the two years said member to receive from Ihe authorities of either or both of Ihe oforementioned colleges a oetti- licttte setting forth her ability to tench American history lu sny college or school iutho world.
