The First Cloud.
"It was to meet such difficulties as
this that tontines-" "Brother!" I
wrote the first sitting at my desk, and
said the last aloud, impatiently—well
there, angrily—for Mutile had bounced
into the room, run to the back of my
chair, and clapped her hands over my
eyes, exclaiming,—
"Oh, Dick, what a shaine 1 And
you promised to come up aud dress !"
"I uo wish you would not he so
childish 1" I cried, snatching away her
hands. "There's a blot you've made
ou my manuscript."
"Don't be cross,sir 1" she said laugh
ing, as she gave a waltz around the
room, making her pretiy silk dress
whisk over one of the chairs, which
she merrily picked up, and then, com
ing to my writing table,she took a rose
out of a basket of fiowcrs and began
to arrange it in her hair.
"I'm not cross," I said coldly, "but
engaged in a serious work of a mercan
tile and monetary nature. You seem
to think meu ought always to be but
terflies."
"No, I don't Dick dear," she cried.
"There, will that do ?"
She held her head on one side for me
to see the creamy rose nestling in her
crisp dark hair ; but after a glance at
it I let my eyes fall upon my desk, aud
went on writing my pamphlet. I saw
that she was looking wistfully at me,
but I paid no heed and then she came
and rested her hands upon uiy shoul
der.
"Are you going to be cross with me,
Dick ?" she said softly.
"Cross ? No I" I jerked out impa
tiently. "Only I thought I had mar
ried a woman, and she has turned out
to be a child."
There was silence then for a few
minutes, broken only by the scratching
of my pen. The little hands twitched
a little AS they lay upon my shoulder,
and I nearly wrote down, instead# of
"The calculations arrived at by the
projectors of tontines." "Richard
Marlow, how can you be such a disa
greeable wretch ? But of course I did
not wiite it—only thought it—and
1 felt wonderfully disposed to turn a
round, snatch the little figure to my
breast, and kiss away the tears which I
knew were gathering in her eyes.
Somehow or other, though, I did not
do it—only went on glumly writing—
for I was cross, worried and annoyed.
I had set myself a task that necessita
ted constant application, and I was not
getting on as I could wish : 80, like
many more wetk minded individuals of
the male sex, instead of asking for the
comforts and advice of wife, I visited
my disappointment upon the first weak
object at hand, and that object was
the lady in questiou.
"Please, Dick dear, don't be angry
with me. I can't help feeling very
young and girlish, though 1 am your
wife. Ido try, oh, so hard,to be wom
anly : but, Dick, lam only eighteen
and a half."
"Thirteen and a half, I should say,"
I said scornfully, just as if some sour
3pirit were urging me to say biting,
sarcastic things, that I knew would
paiu the poor girl ; but for the life of
me I could Lot help it.
There was no answer -only a little
sigh—and the hands were withdrwan.
I went on writing—rubbish that I
knew I should have to cancel.
"Had you not better get ready,
Dick I" said Mattie, softly. "You
said you would come, when I went up
stairs, and the Wilson's wou't like it if
we are late."
"Hang the Wilson's 1" I growled.
There was another pause, filled up by
the scratch, scratch of one of the uoise
iest peDs I ever used, aud another little
sigh.
Mattie was standing close behind me,
but I did not look around, and at last
she glided geutly to a chair and sat
down.
"What are you going to do ?" I said
roughly.
" Wait for you, Dick dear," she re
plied.
•'You need not
come. Say I've a headache—say any
thing I"
'•Dick are you ill ?" she said tend
erly, as she came behind me once more
and rested her hand on my shoulder.
•'Yes—no—pray don't bother. Go
on. Perhaps I'll come and fetch yon."
There was another pause.
•'Dick dear, I'd rather not go with
out you," she said meekly.
"And I'd rather you did g> without
me," I said angrily. "The Wilsons
are our best friends, and I won't have
them slighted."
"Then why not come, Dick ?" sai'l
the little woman, and I could see that
she was struggling brave to keep back
the tears.
"Because I've no time for such fri
volity. There, you've wasted enough
of my time, so go."
Scratch, sciatcb, went the exasperat-

ing pen, as I went on writing more
stuff to cancel, and yet too weak and
angry to leave off like a sensible man
run up and change my things, and ac
company my little wife to the pleasant
social gathering a few doors lower
down the road.
She had been looking forward to the
visit us a treat.So had I till that gloomy
flt came over me ; but as I had tak
on the step already made, I felt that 1
could not retreat without looking fool
ish ; so I acted with the usual wis
dom displayed hy man under such cir
cumstances, and made matters much
worse.
"Did you hear me say that I wisher!
you to go alone V" I said angrily.
"Yes, yes, Dick dear, I'll go If you
wish," Mattie said very meekly ; "but
indeed I'd far rather stay at hom9."
"You are desired to go ; you have
a rose in your hair," I said sarcastical
ly—oh, what a poor satire when it was
put there to please me I—"and they ex
pect you ; so now go, and enjoy your
self," I added, byway of a sting to my
sensible speech.
"I can't enjoy myself, Dick," she
said gently, "uuless you come too.
Let me stay."
"I desire you to go !" I exclaimed,
hanging my hand down on the desk.
She looked at me with the great tears
standing in her eyes, and then, coming
nearer, she bent ovet and kissed my
forehead.
"Will you come and fetch me*
Dick ?" she said softly.
"Yes—no—perhaps—l don't know,''
I said roughly, a9 I repelled her caress
es. And then, looking wistfully at me,
she went slowly to the door,glided out,
and was gone.
That broke the spell, and I started
from my seat, more angry than ever, 1
was wroth with her now for obeying
me so meekly, and 1 gently opened the
door, to hear hef call the maid to ac
company her as far as the Wilsons'.
Then I heard them go-heard the girl
return, and I was alone.
Alone ? Well, not exactly ; for so
to speak, I was having an interview
with my angry self, asking how I could
let a feeliug of announce act upou my
better nature, and make me behave a 8
1 had to the sweet girlish being who
during the six months we had been
married, had neyer looked at me but
with eyes of love.
"Change your things and go after
her," something seemed to say ; but I
repelled it, threw my writing aside
kicked off my boots, snatched my slip
pers out of the closet, thrust the easy
chair in front of the fire, threw myself
into it, and then, with my feet on the
fender and my hanJs in my pockets, I
sat, morose, bitter and uncomfortable
gazing at the glowing embers.
"She had no business to go I" I ex
claimed. "She knew I was up all last
night writing that miserable book, and,
was out of sorts, and she ought to have
stayed."
Then I reviewed the past half hour,
and grew calmer as I leaned back,
knowinn as I did that I had forced her
to go, poor child, aud how miserable
she would be.
"She'll forget it among all those peo
ple," I said bitterly.
But I did not believe it, and at last
I sat there calling myself idiot, blind,
roadman, to plant as I had the first
seeds of what might grow into a very
apas tree of dissension, and blight the
whole of our maried life.
"Poor little darling 1" I said at last ;
"I'll wait up till she comes home, a.id
then tell her how sorry I am for my
folly, and ask her forgiveness. But as
a man can Ido that! Will it not be
weak ? Neysr mind," I exclaimed,
"I'll do it 1 Surely there can be no
braver thing than to own one's self in
the wrong. Life is short to blurr it
with petty quarrels. And suppose she
were taken ill to-night—my darling
whom I love with all my heart ? Or
suppose she went too near the Are and
her dress caught alight V There, how
absurd ! Thank goodness, she is in
silk, and not in one of those fly-away
muslins 1"
I sat on, musing, till suddenly there
was a buzz outside the house, and then
the rush of feet, I fancied I heard the
word "Are 1" repeated again and again,
and, turning to the window, there was
aglow which lighted up the whole
place.
I dashed down the stairs and out of
the door, to And the road thronged, for
a house a little lower down was in
flames, and to my horror I had not ta
ken a dozen steps before I found it was
our friend's the Wilson'.
Theie was no engine, but a crowd of
excited people talked eagerly ; and
just then the Are escape came trund
ling along the road It was quite time,
for the house as I reached it was blaz
ing furiously, the Aames darting out in
long fiery tongues from the upper win
dows, while at several there were peo
j pie crying piteously for help.
' I fought my way through the crowd,
and tried to run up to the house, but
half a dozen oAlcious people held me
back, while the men with the Are es
cape hurried to rear it against the
house ; but it would not reach because
of the garden in front, so that they had
to get the wheels of the escape over tlio
iron railings, and this unused great de
lay.
"Ltt meg)!" I panted to those
who held mo. "Let me go ! iSorae
one—some one is in the house I"
"You can't do any good, sir," said
a policeman, roughly. 4 'The escape
men will do all that can be done."
But I struggled frantic illy, and got
loose, feeling all the while a horrible,
despairing sensation, as I knew that
my poor darling was oue of the shriek
ing suppliants for help at the windows,
and that but for my folly I might haye
saved her.
As I freed myself from those who
held me, and ran to the escape, it was
to And that the man who had ascended
it had just been beaten back by the
Aames.
44 lt's no good," he said ; 4, we must
try the back of the house."
lie was a bout to drag the machine
away, when 1 heard my name called in
piteou9 tones ; and as 1 was once more
seized, 1 shook myselt free, rushed up
the ladder, with the Aames scorching
and buruing my face, and panting and
breathless, I reached a window where
Mattie stoid stretching out her hands.
I got astride of the sill, the Aames
being wafted away from me,and threw
my arms around her ; but as I did so
the ladder gave away, burned through
by the Aames that gushed furiously
from the lower window,and I felt that
I must either jump or try to descend
by the staircase.
There was no time for thinking, so I
climbed In, lifted Mattie in my armsi
feeling her dress crumble in my hands
as I touched her, aud the horrible od>r
of burnt hair rose to my nostrils as I
saw her wild, blackened face turned to
mine.
"Dick, Dick !" she gasped, "save
me !" and then she fainted.
Fortunately, I was as much at home
in the house as in my own, and mak
ing for the staircase through the Atme
aud smoke, I reached it in safety, but
t>elow me was what seemed to be a
Aercely blazing furnace. I rec iled
for a moment,but it was ray only hope,
and I recalled that the lower Aoor was
as yet untouched by the Are ; it was
the one beneath me that was blazing so
furiously. So, getting a good tight
grip of my treasure, I rushed down the
burning stairs, feeling them crackle
and give way as I bounded from one to
the other.
It was a fiery ordeal, but in a few
seconds I waa below the flames, and
reached the ball, where 1 struggled to
the door, reached it and fell. If I
could but open it I knew we were sav
ed ; but I was exhausted, and the hot
air caught rae by the throat aDd seem
ed to strangle me. I raised my hand
to the lock, but it fell back. I beat
feebly at tbe door but there was only
the roar of flames to answer rae : and
as I made one more supreme effort,
panting and struggling to reach the
fastening, I was dragged back by the
weight of the burden I still clasped to
ray breast.
It was more than human endurance
could bear, and I felt that the end was
near ; and to make my sufferings more
po'gnant, Mattie seemed to revive,
struggling with me for her life, as she
kept repeating my name, and clung to
me, till—
"Dick-dear Dick 1 Wake—prny
pray wake ! Are you ill ?"
I started up, to And Mattie clinging
to me ; and, clasping her to my heart
a great sob I urst from me as I kissed
her passionately again and again, hard
ly able to believe ray senses.
"Oh, Dick,".she panted, "you did
frighten me so! I couldn't stay to
supper at the Wilsons, dear, for I
could do nothing lut think about your
being here alone, and cross with me.
So—so I was so miserable, Dick, that
I slipped away and came home, to find
you lying back here, panting and strug
gling : you wouldn't wake when I
shook you. Were you ill ?"
"Oh, no, not at all," I said, as I
kisstd her again and again, feeling
now for the first time sensible of a
smarting pain in one foot.
"You have burnt yourself too, Dick;
look at your foot."
It was quite true ; the toe of oue
slipper must have come in contact with
the fire ; and it was burned complete
ly off.
"But, dear Dick," she whispered,
nestling closer to me, "are you very
angry with your little wife for being
such a girl ?"
I could not answer, only thauk God
that my weak fit of folly was past, as I
clasped her closer and closer yet.
"Mattie, I said at l ist iu a very bus
ky voice, "can you forgive me for be
ing so weak V"
I could say no more, for tne hin
drance of two soft lips placed on mine ;
Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance.
and while they rested there I made a
vow I hope I shall have strength to
keep ; for real troubles are so plenty
it is folly to invent the false.
At last, when I was free, I took the
rose out of her hair and placed it iu my
pocket-book ; while, in answer to the
inquiring eye 3 that were bent on mit.e,
I merely said,—
"For a memento of a dreadful
dream."
By the way, I never finished that
pamphlet.
Washington's Quarrel With
Payne.
'lt was in that era,' said Mr.Brock
et, the white whiskered auditor of
Alexandria, 'in which Washington
had his quarrel with Lieutenant
Payne. We were standing at a win
dow on the second floor of the market
house and looking down into the
great open court which it surrounds.
The court is filled with hundreds of
little wooden booths, where the farm
ers bring their produce and display it
for sale on every market day. The
meat stalls are in the building itself,
but the whole is of comparitively re
cent date, and in Washington's time
the place was an open market space.
'The cause of the trouble,' contin
ued Mr. Brocket, 'was political. There
was a contest for the Virginia Assem
bly, and Payne held one political
theory,while Washington held anoth
er. Payne was himself a candidate
for the Legislature against Fairfax, of
Alexandria. Washington supported
Fairfax, and when he met Payne he
had a hot political discussion with
him on the spot which you see ju9t
below you. Payne considered him
self insulted by one of Washington's
remarks and knocked bim down. The
moment the assault was over the story
went like lightningthrough the town
that Colonel Washington was killed,
and his troops, who were stationed
with hint at Alexandria at the time,
rushed in. They would have made
short work with Payne if Washington
had not prevented them, and, pointing
to his black eye, told then] that it was
his affair and he knew how to manage
it. They thought this meant a duel,
and the next day the town was on the
qui vtve in regard to the affair. The
following morning Payne got a note
from Washington asking him to come
to the hotel.; Payne, expecting a duel,
did so, but he found Washington with
his head tied up, in an amic&ble mood.
He said as Payne entered, and I doubt
not he had his words cut and dried
before hand : *Mr. Payne, to err is
human. I was wrong yesterday, but
if you have had sufficient satisfaction
let us be friends.' There was a decan
ter of wine and two glasses on the ta
ble, which Washington had ordered
to smooth over the trouble. The two
pledged themselves to new friendship
over this,and history 1 elates that they
remained strong friends to the day of
Washington's death. Colonel Payne
was one of the pall-bearers at Wash
ington 's funeral."— Cleveland Ledg

Looking Out for the Oars.
4 *Al' women are aiike in the fear of
the cars," said an Illinois Central con
ductor. "They carry their caution to
absurd extremes. That reminds me of
a little story. Down in the southern
part of the State we have up at road
crossings some of the old-fashioned
signs, 'Look out for the cars when tha
bell rings.' At one of the crossings the
other day two women came up, driving
an old horse hitched to a buggy. They
looked all about and couldn't see any
cars, but happened to read the sign.
'Stop,' said one, 'I hear a bell.' They
both listened, and sure enough they
heard a bell tinkling. One of the wo
men got out, and amid considerable ex
citement took hold of the horse's bridle.
The other tightened her grip on the
lines, set her jaws, and prepared for the
worst. They looked anxiously up the
track for the train, but still couldn't
see it, though they could hear the bell
a little plainer than before. They wait
ed and waited. Five minutes passed,
then ten, and still no train. The old
horse went to sleep, while the women's
nerves, from long straining, threatened
to throw them into hysterics; Nearer
and nearer came the bell against which
the sign warned them,and so they stood
still. In about a quarter of an hour an
old brindle cow came walking down the
pasture by the side of the track, chew
ing her cud and monotonously jingling
her bell. One of the women cried from
nervousness, and the other one got mad
at the railroad company, and said they
were nothing but mean old monopolies,
anyway."

Rapid Growth of a Gent.
A cent seems of little value, remarks
an exchange, but if it is doubled a few
times, it grows to a marvelous sum. A
young lady in Portland caught her fath
er in a very rash promise, by a knowl
edge of this fact on her part.
She modestly proposed that if her
father would give her only one cent on
one day,and double the amount on each
successive day for just one month, she
would pledge herself never to ask of
him another cent of money as long as
she lived. Paterfamilias, not stopping
to run over the figures in his head, and
not supposing it would amount to a
large sum, was glad to accept the offer
at once, thinking it also a favorable op
portunity to include a possible marriage
dowry in the future. On the twenty
fifth day he became greatly alarmed,lest
if he complied with his cwn acceptance
he might be obliged to be "declared a
bankrupt on his own petition."
But on the thirtieth day the young
girl demanded only the pretty little
sum of $5,363,709,12 ! The astonished
merchant was only too happy to cancel
the claim by advancing a handsome
cash payment for his folly ia allowing
himself to give a bond—for his word he
considered as good as his bond—with
out noticing the consideration therein
expressed, and by promising to return
to the old custom of advanciug small
er sums daily until otherwise ordered.
Our arithmetical reporter has been
"figuring cn it," and says that if the
old gentleman had fulfilled his promise,
the daughter would have had, upon the
receipt of the thirtieth payment, the
snug little sum of $10,430,617,43.
She Shamed the Burglar.
One night lately, at the Home of the
Merciful Saviour for Crippled Children,
in Philadelphia, between the hours of 1
and 2,Sister Sarah was aroused by hear
ing a chair fall over below stairs. Has
tily putting on her wrapper, lamp in
hand, she descended to the parlor. Her
first glance revealed an open window at
the back part of the room. A small
part of this parlor is curtained off. The
curtain was parted, and Sister Sarah
thought it moved. Approaching it,she
found herself face to face with a white
man, tall and stout. Fixing her eyes
upon him she said : "The Chinese have
a saying that to some men hearts have .

stead of a heart." And with a look of
scorn she continued : "You have come
to a house as a thief where there are on
ly crippled children and a few women
to take care of them." The man drew
his hat over his eyes and leaped out of
the window.

President Oardner in Trouble About
the Cooking Stove.
As the hour for opening the meeting
arrived and the triangle sounded its
warning notes Sir Isaac Walpole as
cended to the President's desk and
said:
"Gem'len, it am my painful dooty to
riz up lieah an' inform you dat Brudder
Gtrdner will not be present dis evenin'
fur de furst time since Paradise Ilall
was opened to de club. Yesterday was
de day tixed upon by him an' de ole wo
man for settin' up de coal stove. Dey
sot out in de lies' of speerits, nebber
dream in'ob de dark shadder which hov
ered o'er dat cabin roof, an' ripped>ff
de shingles wid its bloody claws."
At this point the excitement and con
fusion in the hall became so great that
Giveadam Jones had to slam Elder
Toots into the wood-box and throw
Humble Smith over three benches be
fore order was restored.
