[By Special Arrangement.—Copyright.] A COMMON BOUQUET, By LOUISE DILLON. Behind the curtain flap, in the circus winter Quarters, just, by the performers'" entrance. there was a smell of sawdust, gas, and new wood, as there always is about a circrue. Further hack, one could hear the impatient stamp of the horses. and inside, in the circus ring, the music of the band. Through the opening in the big curtain could be seen the he:d8 of the audience, row on row. an. in an amphitheatre. A young woman on horseback is jumping through paper-covered hoops, two clowns ma.ke the same old stupid jokes, and the naive part of the audience applaud as usual. Outside, in the sw>-cal!ed green-room, is piled some of the scenery of a pantomime, a carpet for the acrobat, and barriers for the horses to leap. A shivering bareback rider, with a. winter coat over her circus dress, leans against the wall: while in a little corner by the curtain stands a family group. The father, a fat. unhealthy, sallow-looking man. in black evening drests. and yellow gloves, with a big imitation diamond in his shirt front, look.- so forlorn and false, with his shining black wig and his dyed moustache. The mother is a little dried up, brown creature, with wiry black hair and piercing eyes. She is dressed in a thin woollen dress. covered with grease spots, and a faded velvet coat. trimmed with moth-eaten fur. On her head is a battered straw hat, with a crumpied feather. Looking at her now. no one could see that she. when young, had been the star of the troupe, and flew through the air on horse- back to the accompaniment of the band music and the cracking of the whips, while the clowns turned somersaults, and the crowds screamed "Bravo! Now she usually sits by the door and takes the tickets, whenever she can slipping her cold hands into an old-worn muff. To-night she is free. for her daughter Paulina is to make her debet. This event is one of great importance. Indeed. it is almost a question 01 life and death to the family. for, in their profession, when an actor gets old he must look to his children for support. The father is too stiff to ride. and makes himself useful as impresario, and writes the contracts with the performers, while the mother does the cooking and washing, and decorates the costumes with spangles and gold fringe. Papa and n-tamma, Carrainbino are old, and now all their hope is for their daughter. The son Ricardo is a clever enough juggler, and doe." the usual feats with plates and brass ba,lls.. but there are too many in the business, and his earnings cannot well support the family. Paulina, on the other hand. might make their fortunes if she is only clever enough, and does not throw herself away on the first who smiles upon her. Perhaps, she might marry a count or baron. Perhaps, it might even be a prince or some rich banker. One has heard of such things happening, and Paulina is very lovely as she stands there, shivering a little with fright and cold, but beautiful in the freshness of her youth, with the sparkle of dark eyes, and the rich black Iia!r, where p!nk >ofieS neStleS. The figure ore cannot see. She is covered; with an old white cloak, which her mother has drawn carefully together over her bare shoulders. j The number is finished, and the sound of applause comes like a roar from the circus. The artiste has a re-call, and comes out of breath to bow his thanks. Now it is Paulina's turn. A snow-white horse, with white trappings, embroidered with roses is led ill. Mamma Carrambino carefully takes the cloak off her daughter's shoulders, and there stands Paulina, glowing with youth and beauty, like a little fairy, in clouds of roso- pink tarlatan; her bodice is pink satin, em- broidered with silver spangles, and on her neck and arms sparkle glass stones of wonder. ful brilliance. Mamma Carrambino arranges with great care the short tarlatan skirt, fastens a bouquet of roses on one shoulder, and ten. derly smooths her hair; then she kisses her daughter, though the tears trickled down on the old worn muff. Paulina trips up on the little chalk plat- form, and kicks out with her feet like a chicken in a flower-bed. She kisses her father and gives him her hand. Papa Carrambino straightens himself proudly, and with the stereotyped actor's smile on his lips goes towards the entrance. The band is playing a. deafening melody. The curtain is drawn aside, and the riders in gala dress arrange themselves on both sides of the entrance. Paulina appears on her father's arm, and regards the audience with a smile. For a moment she stands confused, blinded by the light and frightened at the rows of heads that seemed to be piled around her. Now she recovers heroelf, and springs gracefully on her horse, touches daintily the pink, tarlatan skirta, playing with her little silver-mounted whip as she sits there, and letting her eyes wander around the audience. A little boy in blue uniform with two rows of brass buttons is carrying around small bouquets for eale. These are made of ever- laatings, moss and straw dyed with the most brilliant greens and reds, but they, like the glass stones that Paulina wears. look real under the gaslight. As Paulina rides around the ring she sees in the first row a young man standing with one of the bouquets in his hand. She recognises him; she had seen him the day before, in the morning, when she was practising. He had been through the stables, and stood for a miiiute at the performers' entrance, holding the curtain abide while he looked io the ring, and at the little Paulina, with bold, admiring eyes. She had blushed for her poor. plain dress, a blue cotton blouse, and a soiled and crumpled tarlatan skirt, and had ridden quickly out. Afterwards she had heard the manager say that he was a, Couiit, and ehe supposed that it must be so; he was to h^idsome and so elegant, v An expensive fur ooat covered his slender figure; he was very paJe, with finel cut features. A little blonde moustache shadowed his handsome mouth, where one could see tired lines around the corners. Now he stands there and looks at her with the same bold, admiring gaze, while he holds the bouquet in hie hand. It is surely for her; her heart beats with rapture. He is so hand- Kime and such a fine gentleman, and it is her first bouquet. Papa Carrambino walks by the side of the horse, and carries his head high, with the same etereotyped smile. He cracks his long whip, and the horse breaks into a gallop. Paulina springs to her feet, and stands in a grateful attitude on the white horse, with his gay trappings. She makes two or three bold, daring turns under a storm of applause. As bhc rides past Paulina sees the yonng man bend forward, and with true aim throw tM bouquet right aeaioet her breast, f.bf'j d1Ú.cà it with a. pmUe, but at thf same instant the hom ?erlo Tk?eBt?. pxa:UzLil loses her balance and falls, etriking her hsad against the barrier. She lies quite still, with hand clasping the stranger's bouquet. It bad all happened in a second. From the auaienee comes a frightened cry, and Papa Carrambino stumbles, liaif-dazed. to where his daughter is lying. With the help of two of the riders he carries her out. The music stops, and through the circus sounds a murmur as from the ocean in storm. The elegant young man gets up and walks out. His pale face is paler than usual. Outside, on the acrobat's carpet, lies Paulina with closed eyes, and the bouquet held tightly to her breast. The fathers sallow face looks like a death-mask. The mother sobs at her feet. The riders stand round in a circle, and amongst them the old. clown, Mr. Bottle. He had known the mother, when she, a faded and painted-up beauty, had made Mr. Carrambino happy with her hand-ar-d then he had carried the little Paulina in his arms. "It was a silly bouquet that caused the whole accident!" h8 mumbled. "It was her first bouquet T' whispers the mother. It was a common bouquet," says one ot them, contemptuously. Mamma Carrambino raises her head with tear-filled eye;. "It is of everlastings." she says, "and they never fade, ily first bouquet was of roses, aud they faded. The manager comes in to say that the doctor is coming, and the audience are quiet. Then he appears before the people ana announces that Madamoiselle Paulina is out of danger. The clown, Mr. Bottle, must go on, but the audience do not laugh at his fun, and he is far from laughter himself. The tears have made furrows through the paint, on his cheeks, and that is why he drops so often on his nose in the sawdust that the people shall not see him cry. All this time Paulina has lain unsconscious; only once she has opened her eyes and pressed the bouquet with a smile closer to her breast. The doctor has come. but there is nothing for him to do. The manager was right- Paulina is out of danger, out of all the dangers of the a-ctor'■ life. She has gone out—pure, innocent, in the midst of applause, in the happiest moment of her life. As she lies there in the rose-pink tarlatan, with a smile on her lips. she seems to have dropped to sleep on the acrobat's gay carpet, while she keeps the bouquet, pressed to her breast. It is no expensive bouquet of beautiful roses, that fade so quickly, and that many of her sisters have jrtid for with their honour; only a common bouquet of everlast- ings, but they do not fade. (The End.)

I SEVEN GOOD REASONS. Bishop Mallalieu, of the Methodist Church of the United States, was recently condemn- ing the small salaries that congregations able- to pay more sometimes give their pastors. "I once knew a capital young man." said the bishop. He was in the Church. His salary was small, but he was hopeful and happy, for he was just married, and believed, as he had a right to do, in his ability. Some twelve or fifteen years went by. I had lost sight of this young minister—forgotten him. as we do forget sometimes-when I met him in Boston. He was dressed well, but not at all clerically. We shook hands. He said he was doing excel- lently. 'What church?' said 1. 'Oh.' said he 'no church—the wholesale hat busines,, 'But why did you leave the Church?' I asked. For seven reasons,' said lie. 'What were they?' I aaked. 'A wife and six children" he answered.

WANI ED." The two boys were standing with their nosew glued to the jeweller's shop window when the kind-looking old gentleman approached. Now," he said, "I wonder which of you two lads is the better runner?" Both imme- diately loudly claimed the distinction. "Snsh!" said the old gentleman; "we will soon settle that point. You must start now from here and run completely roand this block of buildings. I will wait here, and the boy who reaches me first shall have sixpence. One, two, three!" The boys started off like the wind, and simultaneously there was » loud crash. The jeweller rushed out of hit shop. and perceived first that there wat. large hole in his shop window, and, secondly, that two bovs were running for dear life up the street. He thirsted for their blood, and so he ran also in pursuit. Then the kind- looking old gentleman entered the shop, from which he emerged with bulky pockets a few minutes later, looking, if anything, more benevolent than ever. There have been many touching inquiries about that old gentleman, but up to time of going to press he has not attended to award that sixpence.

A CINGINNATUS OF THE WEST, One of the old governors of the Carolina*, in the United bta-t.es, was a man who had lived a farmer's life roo?t of the lime until he vrafi elected; and hi wife, having nerver seen a stea; 3bomt or a railway, and having no wish to test either, refufed to accompany her husband to the capital. When the governor reached his destineution he found that aJmost all the other officials were accom- panied by their wives. and he sent an impera- tive message to his brother to fetch Melinda. along." The brother telegraphed, "She's afraid even to look at the engine." The governor read the message, a.nd pondered over it for a few moments. At the end of that time he sent off the following command, Bill, you blindfold Melinda, and back her on to the train." Melinda arrived at the capital with the victorious Bill 24 hours later.
