A GEM OF ART.

BY AMY RANDOLPH,

“Seventy-five dollars for a picture frame !” cried Mr. Mapleton. ‘‘My dear Angusta, isn't that justa little extravagant ?”

It was almost the first remonstrance that Mr. Mapleton had ventuged to utter to his wife, for the glow) of their honeymoon had not yet faded from the matrimonial horizon. But he was only a } young merchant, whose business had not yet arrived at an ove: Whelming pitch of success, and he was beginning to think that Mrs. Mapleton’s ideas were a little too high-toned for such a limited income as their’s was. '

Mrs. Mapleton turned toward him with a sad moonlight sort of a smile.

“* My dear Gerard,” she said,. ‘! pray ex- cuse me, bit you are quite ignorant of the subject. That picture which dear Louise Larrance gave me for a wedding present is a real Meissonier. One of the great artist's eatliest attempts, it is true, and, perhaps lackny in the exquisite finish which character- iz 8 his later productions, bat s ill a Meisson- icr. And no common or twardy piece of gild- ing can befit such a gem of art as this, It will light up our drawing room as a jewel lights up sume dusky ocean cave.”

So the seventy-five dollar frame was order- ed, and the Meissonier was sent home incased in its splendor.

Grandwa Mapleton s»ovk her old white head when it was carried in. ‘‘It may be a gem of art,” said she. “I ain’t no judge of such things. But I'm sartin that your business won't support Augusta if she keeps on at this rate. Your grandfather's , picture of * Washington Crossing the Dela- ware,’ was framed in a cherry wood mould- | ing that didn’t cost fifty cents. And even the portiait of Sarah Jane, playing the harp, that was done by the travelling journeyman who painted the barn, was put in a plain gilt | frame that only cost three dollars and a half.” “Oh, grandma!” cried Mrs. Mapleton, despaitingly, ‘*c.n’t “you understand that the world has altered since you were a girl?” | “Oh, [ know that well enough,” said Grandma Mapleton, meditatively, polishing her spectacle glasses with the corner of her} apron. “*Sut Lain’t altogether certain that it has altered for the better.” |

Grandma Mapleton, bless ‘her kindly old | heart, had many doubts and fears as to the way in which her grandson and his wife were | beginning their career. .

“** Brussels carpets all over the house,” said she. **Ingrain wag good enough in my day, with Venetian stripe on the stairs and oilcloth on the hall, so that you coulil scrub “em tp once a week, and make satin’ you were clean. And Augusta has got ebony cabinets to hold , china and stuff, where I used to be satisfied with a wooden corner cupboard. And there are curtains strung up before every door, and fans tagked iaevery hele and coraer, until I

fairly gche to go and fold ‘em all up and put | ‘em away. But this picture business outdoes | everything. What! new current-colored |

plush coverings for the furniture! Why! Augusta, there ain’t no earthly need for! that.”

“They must match the band of currant- | eolored plush in the picture frame, don’t yon | see?” impatiently retorted Mrs. Gerard Mapleton. ‘‘ Everything must be toned to; the key of the Meissonier !”

Grandma said nothing. She only shook! her bead again, this time more vehemently | than ever.

“I wish the Mezzoner never had come into the house,” sald she to herself. ‘* It has fairly turned Gerard’s wife’s head. _ And I don’t see as it’s any different from any other picture.”

Mrs Gerard Mapleton, , however, thought differently. She ‘‘ toned” the little drawing room satisfactorily to the key of the Meisson- ier, andl then issued cards for ‘* Weduesday evenings.”

** Not regular parties, you know,” she ex- plained to her frends. *‘ Just evenings. And —and music—and literary conversation, and all that sort of thing.”

Mi. Mapleton looked doubtful.

‘* My dear,” said he, ‘‘ all that sort of thing, as you call it, costs money. And I’m notsure that we can afford it.”’

“Oh, Gerard, dot't be ridiculous!’ said Augusta, with a petulant shrug of her shoal- ders. ‘‘ Afford! You arealways thinking of money. A few slices of cake and a glass of wine or so—what can it signity ? And as for my dress, I should have required a new back silk this winter in any event.”

*Mr. Mapleton could say no more} but by and by, when the bills came in, thick as **autumn leaves that strew the brooks of Val- lambrosa,” his face assumed-a worn and hag- gard expression—a troubled look—that went to grandma's heart.

** Gerard,” she saidy softly, *$*=bat is it? Don’t be afraid of coming to gianay, my boy. It was me that bound up the first cat finger | you ever had.”

‘* Hearts’ wounds are not so easily healed, grandma,” said the young man, half laugaing, half sighing. ‘‘ But I may as well be frank with you That Meissonier is ruining me. I wish to gooduess Miss Larrance had kept it to herself.’

Mrs. Mapleton had invited some artistic friends that evening to look at her picture. With these came a famous English connois- seur, whose manners were as brusque as his judgment was excellent.

‘That a Meissonier!” he cried, apraptly, ‘“Why it is the merest daub that ever was framed !”

** A copy e pate.

eried Mrs. Mapleton, growing

very) poor one!’ It isn’t madam.”

Mrs. Mapleton cried herself to sleep that night. In the morning when she came down, the Meissonier had broken its cord, and lay prove on the mantle, with the javelin of a bronze halberdier sticking through the canvas, while the seventy five doilar frame was broken into fragments.

‘** Dear me, what a pity !” said grandma.

‘lt is the best.thing that couid have hap.

‘‘A copy,” said the cotneisseur, ‘and a) worth the} room it takes up om /your wall, my dear!

-

at thas having ruined you, when she came in lke a guardian, as she is, And, ob, she taiked so beautifully to me—just exactly as if I were a little child who had done wrong out of simple inadvertence. And she wants us to go out to her old farm heuse on the Housato- nic River and live there. It’s all furnished, she says, and—-and”—with @ little hysterical laugh —‘* there are no Meissoniers there {’

So the young couple went out-to the farm house, where the sumacs were begiuning to flaunt their crimson velvet torches, and the stone walls were garlanded in scarlet festouns of woodbine, and there they began the ,world anew.

‘* Dear grandma,” said Mrs. Mapleton, one day, ‘* how wrong an estimate I foimed of your character when first you cam« to us!”

* You thought me a meddling old woman

‘eh ?” said grandma, her keen blue eyes spark!l-

ing shrewdly through her glasses,

‘* But I don’t think so now,” said Augusta. ‘*T am so much happier here, with my bees and my chickens, and all the beautifal things which surround me. And Gerard has not got that troubled look in his face all the time. And he is growing so sunburnt and healthy.”

** You are both of you contented, eh 7” said grandma, knitting diligently away.

‘, Oh, yes; quite,” said Augusta, giving the old lady’s withered hand a squeeze.

‘- Well, then,” sa‘d old Mrs. Mapletcn, “ will tell you a little secret; there is ten thous- and dollars in the Woodhaven Bank which I have been saving up for Gerard to start. busi- ness again.”

‘* Keep it there,” said Gerard promptly, ‘‘I am satished with being a farmer.”

** And whai does Augusta say ?” asked the old lady.

** Augusta says the same,” declared the young wife, ‘* She is quite satisfied.”

Grandma Mapleton smiled, The lesson of adversity had not been in vain.

Mrs. Angusta added :

‘** The picture of woods and fields that I can see at sunset from this back yard is love- lier than all the Messioners in the world.”

** I think so, too,” said Gerard; but in his secret heart he believed that the happy light in Augusta's eyes was a still fairer and sweet- er picture.

Mail advices by steamer from Australia,

‘at San Francisco, state that leading Chinese

merchants of Dunedin, one of the chief cities of New Zealand, have received a copy of an imtperial proclamation and edict from

‘Pekin, m which the action of the colonies

in trying to prohibit Chinese inrmigration is characterized. The proclamation says the imperial army nutrhbers 15,000,000 men, but, they are not so well armed or drilled

.as the troops of western mations, ‘while

the , hayy, ‘though larger’ than a few’ years ago, is ‘not ‘sufficiently

large to warrant the empire taking aggres- sive action. The government, however, intends building more ships, and also it- proviog the army. The work of rearming and redrilling the army, and of rebuilding warships sufticiently powerful to enable the Chinese empire to cope with the soldiery and navy of Great Britain will occupy a period of three years. By the edict the governmeat of China commands all Chinese subjects in Australian colonies to wind up their business affairs within the next three years and return to China by the expiration of that period,
