She wore her pret- ‘tiest dress in his honor, and adorned it with his favorite flowers, forgetful in her eager- ness to please him, that this might make things harder for him. She ordered all the dishes she knew he liked for tea, and spent a couple of hours in the hot kitchen that scorching morning aie a cake that he always praised. With eager haste she took from its glass-doored cabinet the rare old Mason china, and rifled the garden of roses to fill the quaint any rc rs -bow] for the centre of the table, possible should be done to make jim im feel Rirneelf, that night, the honored guest, the person of most. importance in_ their world. It was an heirloom—the Mason china—quaint aud curious, and most highly There was a_ superstition—ho originated none knew—that a breakage of a iece, whether by design or accident, for- e misfortune to the house of Mason. Very carefully it was always mAs being only used on rare occasions wh inl honor was intended., During the eivil war it had lain securely hidden in a heavy box under the brick pavement of one of the cellar rooms, thereby escaping dire vicissitudes. Many pieces had been broken, said to have been followed in every case by calamities harder to endure than the loss of precious porcelain, but much of it still re- mained. In design it was-unique, in execu- tion wonderful, and its history was roman- tic. In the olden time a rich and fanciful Mason had visited the colonies with one of e expeditions sent out by the Virginia Company of London. He was an artist of no mean ute, and durin his stay in the new wor orld had made sketches of the strange beautiful scenery, and studies from the wild picturesque life which capti- vated his imagination. After his return to England, he perfected jo these drawings from memory, and some years later crossed over to France, and had them transferred to china at fabulous cost, The result was very beautiful, for each piece showed sinall but exquisite portrayals of lifeand scenery in the new world, The scenes were varied, and depicted in soft, glowing colors, and with a finish that made each a gem. On one cup a hunter followed the chase through the silent forest ; another showed a dusky maiden dreaming beside a waterfall ; a third, a group f deer resting in a sunny valley ; a fourth, a circle of braves around a council fire. When, in after years, the grandson of the artist had married a bride with Indian blood in her veins, the punch-bow! had been added as a special compliment to the lady, and the china had been sent a wedding gift from the Masons of England to the Masons of Virginia. The bowl was very graceful, and contained on one side a_ lovely representation of the landing at J senuhceni, with the tranquil, smiling river, the vessel in the offing, and the group of friendly red men on the shore; on the other was, of course, depicted the rescue of Captain John Smith 'by the Indian girl. The bowl was finished ut top and bottom with wreaths of vag creepers, forest leaves and_blos- To bring out this precious heirloom in honor of a guest was making him of conse- quence indeed.* Jim knew all about it, and —_ hed caught sight of the pretty tea-table he a the girl's intention, and shot a quick, grateful glance across to her from his brown eyes. A whimsical memory of a superb breakfast he: had once geen served to n man about to be hanged obtruded itself, but he banished it loyally. It was a merry menl, despite the shadow in the background, for the gentlemen taking their cue from Pocahontas vied with each other in talking nonsense, and depict- ing ridiculous phases of camp life in the tropics with Jim always for the hero of the scene. And Jim, shaking off the dismal emotions peculiar to farewell visits, re- sponded gallantly, cefending himself from each sportive attack, and il summing his exile with such rays of promise as tohim. He knew these old feinuds were sorry to lose him, and trying to lessen the wrench of parting ; and being a quiet, self- controlled man—tmore given to action than speech, and with a deep abhorrence of — h siated their efforts.

Presently, without turning his head, he asked her to walk with him down to the old willows by the riverside, for a farewell look on the scene so dear to him, and Po- tas rose instantly and slipped her hand within his proffered arm.

They would wait three years, she said, and at the end of that time the man whose tree had grown the neonga should come and claim jhis answer. would attend to both willows herself, diving toeach the same care, and treating them with equal fairness. Then she e the men shake hands in amity once more, and swear to abide by her decision. The story further tells that both willows flourished finely, but that in the last year the true love's tree outstripped its mate, as was right and proper. As the lady had anticipated, when the term of probation expired only one of the twins appeared to claim jan answer to his suit. And in the pocket of the constant man, when he kissed is own true love, lay a letter, from across the seas, full of brotherly affection and congratulation. 1is little — was a favorite with Pocahontas, and she was fond of relating how her great-great-grandmother by a little wit and generous self-sacrifice, averted a feud between brothers, and kept family peace unbroken. (To be continued.) The Koords. Their women go about with uncovered faces ; many of them are distinctly hand- some, with derk raven locks dragged over their cheeks, bright-red complexions, and large, almost Jewish, noses ; but unfortu- nately they love to tattoo these otherwise comely faces, and to wear silver solitaires in their noses. Their heads are hung with all sorts of ornaments, cowry beads and savage jewelry, and their headgear generally is weighty ao uncomfortable-looking. Over their loose, baggy trousers they throw a red dress, and in the photographic groups we obtained we find our isiontia xb home are generally at a loss to determine the sex unless some babe in arms or other evidence of maternity settle the question.
