■ “They are perfect daisies!” “I soe nbltdaisica” remarked the
middle-ageI
lady, stonily regarding the enthusiast! sohool|-girL “I see
three elegant bod qnets, one of crimson roses, one |
prehensions, you act in this playfully'| sensible manner! But
here comes Mil- I lie. I will take this little messenger to
my room atid rehearse my reply iu private. Ha! ha!”• “Ha! ha!”
echoed Miss Madge, turn
ing to receive a peniteiifhug from Millie, and assure her of
entire forgiveness, even, iu the fulness of her heart, promising
.that wayward child innumerable parties after she had eschpwed all
her foolish ways, and learned fio imitate her staid and dignified
aunts in all particulars. :
Meanwhile, the widow was reading witbggratiiiod countenance and
running comments:—
‘‘Mr t)Ai6uxG:—Rijad in these flowers my love for you, wliieb,
it seems, I am never to obtain mi opportunity of declaring unheard
by tin' two dragons who' always accompauv you.” (“Naughty boy! He
must not call poor Millie und Madge,: such hard names!” “But vou
know ft, despite your sweet, maddening inclif- fereuce, and some
time I will even dare hope it is returned.” (“Dear James!”) /
‘Darling, will you be my wife?” (“Of course I will!”) “1 dare
not'hope your attendant dragons will allow you to answer this as J
could wish. Doa:t frowrn̂ dearest; I respect and conciliate them
for your, sake. As a reward, I must have mv answer to-morrow. I am
aware that you accompany the dr—forgive me!—your friends for a walk
ev r̂y afternoon in Scottish Park, You know the Oak Tree Bench, the
Jong, rustic, seat divided cxllctly In the middle by an immense,
vine draped oak? I will be there from three- ddll four o'clock. If
you can come and give my answer from your own sweet lips.I shall
lie the happiest of men. If this cannot be, I shall, kiiow the
answer is *ves’ if you pass by attired in the dark blue walking
6Uit I admire so much, with three roses, two pink; que white,
pinned upon the right lapel of your jack e t. Thb hours wifl
cree'p. oh! so slowly, until then.'? * “James.”
“Now, isn’t t)iai just, like a man?” twittered the widAw, "He
calls my green walking-suit ‘blue.’ However, it happens that my new
suit, which arrives to-dayis. blue. I will dress as he requests,
weimantic botl! and be there, before lie comes, to give him a
delightful surprise, and prove that, although always accompanied by
Madge and Millie, I am mistress of my time, if I choose. He must
never betray lliis little romance to those girls. Mildred has such
a way of turning everything into ridicule! It might accord.' with m
yoft-repeated precepts.’].;:
Smiling blandly, the lady laid the note upon fieri
dres-ing-easo, nnd ordering tlie carriage,, was soon immersed iu a
solitary jshopping expedition; and witli commendable prudonoo slio
remembered 'ltd make her purchases witli reference1 to a certain
auspicious event in the near future.
Scarcely had thn carriage driven away when Miss Madge entered
the room 'toth energetic step and frowning brow.
“She has gone.” she exclaimed angrily,” without evpn informing
me of tlie contents of a missive so important to my happiness!
Because she is two years my senior, sho need not treat me as if I
were a child like Millie. All!”‘ Her eye rested upon the note, -and
she was soon perusing it with comments very similar to those made
during the: previous reading, after wjiieh she kissed it
sentimentally, and laiiPit carefully ill its place.,
“I see naw,” she mused*. “Ajmn ! feared 1 might be foolish
enough to accede to his request. The naughty* boy should know that
he can see me alone by simply comingAo thg house —but—it is-very
romantic! If it, were* not for my.-sulmonitions aud example to
Mill's. Perhaps Anna was justly off nded a^'ifindtng herself and

thing. B u t—”

seven minutes before three came a lady, from the opposite
direction, and, by a singular coincide nee. attired in exactly the
same mhnner os the first-comer. She seated herself upoQ the farther
end of tlie same bench. The two were screened from each other by
tlio, immense .vine-draped oak. It was a secluded jilace, far from
the main thoroughfare. half way down a grassy slope, shut in by
vines and trees -A few feet] away ran a narrow path, and shortly
after three o'clock the occupants of the seat heard steps

Twenty minutes before threo the following afternoon,- M ilie
stood before her glass adjusting a plumey white hat over her fluffy
ha l*. Two wide brown eyes gazed -inquiringly at the lovely
reflection in the mirror.
“Mildred Travis,” she declared solemnly, “during the last
four-nnd-twen- tiy hours this castle has been pervaded l>v an
air of deep and gloomy mystery! Your respectable aunts have glided
around with smiles of hidden meaning upon their sinister lips, and
havo dropped their pends in conscious guilt when they) met your
stern, accusing gaze. And nbw, at the hour of our daily promenade,
they come separately, evidently avoiding ono another and tender
excuses for non-attendance which it wqu)d be base flattery to call
lanie—crutches would not hold them up; and they have both slipped
from -the house, hurridly. mysteriously, and walked rapidly away,
at diffhredt times and in opposite directions. I ' fear thbse giddy
young things have been led into a flirtation with tbe handsome
policeman at the corner; I must look after them. But in tbe
meantime” — with a glad sigh of pleasure—‘T will enjoy one. hour of
liberty, and walk in the park alone."
Fifteen, minutes before three, Mistreat Anna, attired lit a bine

something else.
A t all, handsome young man sauntered pest, so engrossed in
watching the girl by his side that he failed to observe the two
pairs of angry eyes fixed upon them; A lovely young girl she was.
Tlie slender figure was clothed in white; she Was swinging a broad,
plumey Gainsborough hat iu her hand, and the soft breeze ran riot
among the golden hair, tossing it into innumerable, bewildering
rings, while the quivering, tender siuile on tlie pretty lips
matched the wild-rose flush of her cheeks. Every word they uttered
i-ame ’clear and distinct to the two watchers.
“Sor my darling.” tho young man was saving, “you did not receive
my note, after all; strange what became of i t ” — „
“The [unseen auditors half arose simultaneously and looked
anxiously around, but sank back with oonsterna- tion in their
countenances, cold perspiration bedewing their brows.
“Perhaps you put it into the wrong bouquet,” Millie suggested
roguishly.,
“Never!” he exclaimed, stopping to press a kiss upon the saucy
mouth.“You know I only sent them to conciliate the drag--tliore!
don’t frown; I mean .vour dear aunts. How my heart fell to-day,
when I saw you dressed in white instead of bine, and not a flower
about you except in your sweet face!But it’s all right now, and is

He prejssed the yellow head closer to his bosom.
“O James!’’ she whispered. “They will never; never consent!”
•They must and 6hall !” exclaimed James Randolph, raising his
head iu vehemej® assertion; then his jaw'drop- ped, an (Tim stood

Following Ids look, Millio caught her breath and started. Wlmt

theme had been the beauj cs of graVe and sober deportment, dressed
in the girlish costumo 'planned by this romantic oung lover for

evidently been resting upon the identical Oak Tree Bench, but now
they carried tlie weak anil.frivolous mockery st 11 farther; for
bplh had ar.sun, and stood in exact impation of James Randolph’s
attitude, staring stonily from him to one another.

I cculd hear tlie noise. Guided by this I reached the cell, and
found her glaring at the ofiieer, who was vainly trying to still
the disturbance. Stepping qOietly bp tb her. I said: “Well, Mary,

She stopped at once anff looked puit- zled. a i
Before sbo had time to reply, the officer requested mo- to

should hart or trouolo her. Going up to her, I stroked her hair and
patted her face, soothing .her excitement as though elm were

by the priests, bishops and laymen directly interested in the

A 3BAND CiiLBBBATIOy~The Most Important Event in Ouf
National History.Monster Processions, Receptions, end m
General. GoodThe last centennial of the events of rev
olutionary times 'began in Philadelphia on thejlStn inst. viz:
that of the constitutional j centennial. V isitors were present
from every state and territory, and many gaests from loreign lands
joined Witk*_/ua in coiumenioratiQg the one hundredth anniversary
of the signing or our Magna Chart*. Shortly after 10 o’clock on the
morning of the 15th, the grand procession Btarted, and the 6cene at
the reviewing stand was a grand one, the gay toilets of the ladies
and children adding beauty to the mag nificent decorations.
The const.tutional centennial commission was officially
represented on the grand stand by Hon. John A. Kasson, president;
Hon. AmosR. Little, chairman of the executive committee; Hampton L.
Carson, secretary; >. Carroll Brewster, jr., corresponding
secretary, and assistant secretary Black, lhe central portion of
the stand was reserved for the governors of the states with their
staffs. On this stand were also senators and representatives in
congress, the commissioners of the various states and territories,.
33 of whom were* present, the-diploma tic corps, the foreign
consuls, and especially invited guests «f the commission. Section B
contained distinguished Visitors.
The monster civic and industrial parade, illustrating the
advancement of the indus trim arts apd sciences during the psst
century, it is believed, fairly eclipsed anything of the Kind ever
known. There were in the line 8Q0 floats, each bearing a
representation of some particular ’branch of industry, 12,030 men,
3,C00 horses and 150 bands of music.
At the head of the column rode Col. A. Louden Snowden, chief
marshal, and his staff of 50 aids. Directly behind- tnem: was
the^United States marine band, and followed by a grand banner,
.representing Columbia: pointing to the past with one hand, and
with the other to the present*, the formejjr being represented by
old implements and the latter by those of to-day.
TLe display from this point was divided into ~8 divisions. The
honor of heading the first division was givemto the Sons of
America, who presented a beautiful display.
Amid the gav holiday attire of the streets there was' nothing'
more conspicuous and artistic than the three triumphal arches than
spanned Broad and Lbestnut-sts. The Brood-st. arch was almost
opposite the main reviewing stand, which was occupied by the
president And his party.. It was 60 teet high, springing from each
curb.; of plain semi-circular form and segmented on the south side
with illuminated shields of the 83 states, and on the north with
the names of the states, the shield and name of each being back to
back. The 13 original states occupied the middle position of the
group, and the others were placed alongside in tjhe order in which
they came into the uQion. Surmounting the arch was a. mammoth
device consisting of an American eagle and a stand of national
colon.. In the evening Gov- Beaver held A public reception at the
academy of fine arts and shook hands with fully 15,000 people,
among whom was President Cleveland,
; Lx-President Hayes and Gen. Sheridan. "The meeting between
Gov. Beaver and President Cleveland was singularly cordial.
The Catholic dub tendered a reception to Cardinal Gibbons, which
way attended by u large conpourse of prominent people, chief among
which were^President Cleveland, Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild. W
hen the president and Cardinal Gibbons grasped bands ,the crowds
cheered lustily.
The next morning, the 16th, about 9 o’clock the president’s
escort reached the hotel, and a ferw minutes later started for the
commercial exchange, where a reception was held. The line of march
was literally thronged with people who cheered lustily, asf the
presidential party passed, and the (arrival ot the party m the
exchange was the signal for, repeated cheering.
President Comly of tho commercial ex- changey introduced the
president, who said:
1 am glad I have an opportunity to meet so large a
representation of the business men,.of Philadelphia, it is well
that we should not entirely forget in tue midst of our centennial
jubilee that,the aim and purpose of goofi government tend after all
the advancement of the material interests of the people, and the
increase of their trade und commerce. The thought has sometimes
occurred to ma rthat in the hurry and ru?h of business there might
well be infused a little more patriotism than we are. wont to see.
and a little more recognition of ti e tact that a wnole>ome j
©litical sentiment is.rdosely related not only;*o the general good,
but to the general sac -ess of business. Of eoufre our citizens
engaged in business, are quick to see the bearing of any policy
which any government may adopt, as it effect* their personal
success and their accumulation. Liu.t 1 would like to see that
broad and patriotic (sentiment among them which can see beyond
their peculiar personal interests, and which can recognize the
advancement of the entifo countrv as an object for which they may
well’ strive, even sometimes to tho airuinutioh of their Constantly
increasing prbtits.
Must we alw’ays look: for the political opinions of our.business
men precisely where their immediate pecuniary advantage is found.'
1 know how vain it is to hqpe fort.ie eradication of a selfish
motive in all the affairs of life; but I am re.rinded that wo
celebrate to-dav the triumph of patriotism over. selfishness. Will
anyone say that the concessions of the constitution^were not well
made, or that we are not to-day in the full enjoyment of the
blessings resulting from a due regard for all the
.conflicting-'interests represented by the different state* which
united a hundred years ago ? if •
1 believe the complete benefits promised: to the people by our
form of government can only be seenred by an exercise of the same
spirit of toleration fpfr each other’s rights and interests in
which it, had its birth. This spirit will prevail when the business
men of the country cultivate political thought; when they cease to
eschew participation in political action, and when such thought and
action are guided by better motives than purely telfish and
exclusive benefit. . L
i am ot the opinion that there is no place In the country)v^herb
such s condition can be so properly and successfully maintained as
here, among, the enlightened and enterprising business men of
Philadelphia.

Colored people are apparently very popular in England. There
does not seem to be any prejudice against them on account oi their
cdfor. There are not many colored people in London. CARPETS, at The
few th a t I have seen from time to time are invariably in the
company of white people and associating with them upon a footing of
perfect equality . I saw the other day upon Regent street a negro
girl, blaclf as a coal, walking along, leaning fipoa the arm of
a,fashionable, well dressed Englishman who seemed perfectly-
charmed and contented with dusky companion. In the same way, I have
seen white women, respectable in their appearance and dress,
walking in public . . . . .leaning upon the arms of negroes. Fred-
