A Slip of the Pen.
Guy Guthrie was a town-bred youth
who found, upou his father's death,
that his position was not quito what
it used to be when be had an overwork
ed father to foot his bills and keep up
appearances for himself and motherless
sister.
What tho careless boy would have
done, had it not been for his father's
maiden sister, Aunt Saphronia, no one
knows, but she immediately sent for
the brother and sister, cautioning them
to bring all their belongings, for going
to town was a luxury which she or her
dependents did not often indulge in.
"If it were anywhere but in the
country," sighed Guy, ruefully, "I
shouldn't feel so about it."
"The green and blessed country,"
mused Susie, "I shall like it aboye all
things."
4 'Yes, because you are a giil, and
never have to do anything anyway.
Now I'll have to plow and drag and
transfer myself into a regular rustic,
just for the sake of my bread and but
ter—a glorious prospect, certainly."
"Beggars cannot be choosers," re
turned Susie. "And I snail have to
work too ; Aunt Sopha wrote that
she expected me to take care of the
poultry."
Quite a roostecratic appearance you
will make, won't you ?" laughed Guy,
ruefully.
"I shall not listen to your fowl talk,"
said Susie,quickly,endeavoring to rouse
Guy from gloomy feelings.
"Gobble, gobble, gobble," sang Guy
from the Mascotte.
"Ba-a-a," came a merry voice from
the doorway,and then George Maynard
came into the room, saying :
"Practicing up for the stage, Guy ?
I thought I'd ruu in for a particular
parting call before you left us."
The young man addressed himself to
his friend Guy, but his eyes were Oxed
upon' Susie, and he drew his chair up to
her side.
"Very grateful, I am, sure," return
ed Guy, mischievously. "But, as my
attractions always grow small and
beautiful less when compared with
those of my sister, and as I cannot con •
sent to play the wallflower, I will de
camp to see you later."
Quite a youthful couple were the two
Guy Guthrie so considerately left to
themselyes for a last chat before their
long separation.
Susie was a delicate little blossom of
sixteen years, reared in all the idleness
aod luxury of a daughter of wealth ;
the change to the sunshine and activity
of the country promised to be a god
send to her,while George Maynard was
the picture of health. He was but
eighteen years of age, but possessed ey
ery instinct of a refined and generous
man.
His true heart had been proved by
his conduct toward Guy and his sister.
When their reverse had become known
he had faithfully followed them from
their beautiful home to the cheap
boarding-house which they now occu
pied.
"So yqy are really going into the
country, Susie ?" said he, when the
clatter of Guy's departure was no lon
ger heard.
"Yes," she replied ; "and we can
never be too grateful to Aunt S&phro*
nia for offering us a home at this junct
ure."
"I like the country myself, or,rather,
think I would like it. I never passed a
week outside of the city limits. Per
haps some day, however, if you find a
pleasant home there, I shall make you
a visit and thus taste the pleasures of
rural life myself."
"Yes," said Susie flushing a little.
"Guy will probably write you and you
will know how we are getting along.
The worse fear I have is for him. I
am afraid he will not be contented
there."
"I shall certainly not lose sight of
you, Susie. I think you knew that be
fore I told you, and I want you to
promise me before we part that you
will not make any matrimonial en
gagements for five years. It seems a
little eternity doesn't it, Susie ?"
The young girl made no reply, but
the tears in her blue eyes, raised so
trustfully to his, told George Maynard
how deeply her feelings were stirred.
"Won't you promise me, Susie ?
And you may he assured,if we are both
living, darling, at the end of that time,
I shall find you, no matter wheie you
may be."
"I promise," said Susie, in a low
tone. George drew the brown head to
his shoulder and kissed the sweet face
fondly.
"That's a darling. See, Susie, what
I have brought you."
He drew from his pocket as he spoke
a neck chain of elegant workmanship,
and suspended from it was a locket of
purest gold. He touched a spring re
vealing a portrait of his own sunny
, face hidden in the heart of the orna-
MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY,
mcnt.
"You see 1 did not want yon to for
get bow I looked, Susie. Will you
wear this for my sake V"
"Indeed I will, George. I shall
treasure it as a memento of the happy
lifo I have left behind mo."
"And a token of the life of the fu
ture, which will he si ill happier. Is it
not so Susie V"
A glorious rush of color was his an
swer, which deepened as he clasped tho
chain around her neck and kissed again
her trembling lips.
Guy's footsteps were now heard as
cending the stairs, and Susie had only
time to dry her eyes when he entered
the room. "Ha, ha ! If you haven't
both been crying. What a ptecious
pair of spoons 1 Come, Susie and
George, dowu to the parlor. Let's
have oue more song before wo part."
The brother and sister did find a
change in the tenor of the'r lives, but
it was a change for the better. Susie
growiug strong and robust in her beau
ty, and Guy, forgeting rusticity, delved
away at farm work, as if he had been
to the manor born.
Occasionally they heard from the old
friends, mostly through George May
nard, who corresponded regularly with
Guy, buy they never bad returned,even
for a day, to the old scenes.
Two years rolled rapidly into the
past and then Aunt Saphronia left
them for a better home.
The two found themselves joint own
ers of as lovely a home almost as they
could desire.
Guthrie Cottage was known for miles
arouud for iis grand old trees, its ver
dant lawns, climbing vines, and glor
ious roses of every variety.
Guy and Susie were entirely happy
in their home, although sometimes they
did look back to the pleasant days of
their childhood.
One day Susie received a letter from
a frieud of the oldeu time. It read :
MY DEAREST SUSIE : I have just
been listening to some glorious reports
of your rural borne, and another friend
of yours and myself have determined to
inflict our company upon you for a
time. Who that other is I will leave
for a surprise for you upon our arri
val. Expect us Saturday.
MINNIE LITTLE.
Susie took the letter to her brother,
where he was resting beneath a great
oak in the twilight.
"You remember Minnie Little,
Guy ?"
"Yes I remember her," he replied.
"George writes me that she is a beauty
and a belle. I shouldn't wonder if she
had supplanted you, Susie."
"Nonsense," ejaculated Susie, impa
tiently. "Why can't you speak sensi
bly ?"
"You think it impossible for another
to rival your charms ? What an exhi
bition of vanity, Sue !"
"Will you never cease your joking ?
I want the ponies and carriage to go af
ter Minnie Saturday."
Impossible, the ponies will be in
use."
"Why, Guy, you wouldn't leave her
to get here from the station herself,
would you ?"
"Why not ?"
"What a tease you are. I repeat it.
I want the ponies."
"And 1 repeat it, you cannot have
them."
"Why, Guv, I don't believe there is
a single reason why I should not have
them."
"But there is."
"What is it ?
"Because I want them to go after
Minnie myself."
"I might have known it,"said Susie,
laughing. "Don't you want to do the
housework, imd let me farm it while
Minnie is here ?"
•'Yes,'' replied Guy, with comical
frankness. "That is exactly what I
would like."
"I thought so, but it would n't do
you any good ; Minnie wouldn't never
notice an old farmer like yourself."
With this parting shot, Susie left her
provoking brother to himself.
But before Saturday there came an
other note which read a3 follows :
MY DEAR SUSIE : I have been dis
appointed a day or two in visiting you.
The friend who intended to accompany
me was Mrs. George Maynard, but a
sudden summons to New York has pre
vented our visiting you together. I
shall bewith you on Tuesday.
MINNIE.
Susie Guthrie read this note through
the second time before she could com
prehend its meaning.
Mrs. George Maynard. Then George
was really married, and his wife had
thought uf visiting her.
Thrice blessed Providence which had
kept her away !
And she had fancied herself engaged
to George Maynard. All too plainly
she remembered George's words:
"Pomise me not to make any matri
monial engagements for fiye years."
And the rest had been her own imag
ination.
[ Thank heaven, the new 9 had come to
A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE.
her as it had, for now Minnie Little
ah nilil never know, for doubtless
George's wife was a mutual friend of
theirs, and if Minnie knew, George's
wife might suspect liet secret also.
She unclasped her chain from about
her neck and was about to cast it from
her.
"I cannot! Oh, I cannot 1" she
cried, and hid the long cherished souv
enir upon her heart,
Guy was thunderstruck.
"I never imagined such a thing,"
said he ; "I haven't heard from him
very lately ; but Sue one thing, don't
question Minnie at all about him,or she
may suspect something."
The black ponies were at the depot
the next Tuesday evening, and came
home again bearing a vision of loveli
ness in the person of Minnie Little.
She was delighted with the couutry,
going into ecstacies oyer Guthrie Cot
tage.'
"I never saw but or.e place as band
some as thi3, and that is George May
nurds, in the suburbs. You ought to
see it, Sue."
No reply from pale-faced Susie, and
Minnie rattled away upon some newly
discovered beauty among the flowers.
After a time Minnie and Guy began
to quarrel politely whenever they were
together. Susie looked on in astonish
ment, and sometimes she had to use
her best endeavors to prevent an open
rupture.
Although Minnie doted on the coun
try, she did not like the people who in
habited it at all, she said,
Guy, who had forgotten his own'old
en tirade about the country, was al
most angry.
"Think of a man spending his whole
life behind a yoke of oxen," she said.
"But I dou't drive oxen," retorted
Guy, making a personal matter of it.
"I drive the best of thoroughbreds."
"They are not like Mr.Nicholson's,"
sighed Minnie.
"Mr. Nicholsou is a simpleton," said
Guy, sotto voice.
"Mr. Nicholson has a lovely turn
out," returned Minnie, severely.
And, oh ! he is just splendid, always
ready to take one where she wishes to
go."
"But I am ready to take you wliere
ever you wish to said Guy, look
ing at her reproachfully.
"Oh 1 I suppose so, but then I don't
care to go anywhere," carelessly.
And then Guy would hitch up the
despised span and drive off to the vil
lage and spend the whole day.
"Sue," Minuie would say after a
time, "when do you suppose Guy will
come back ?'
"I'm sure I do not know."
"Do you suppose he went off because
he was vexed at me ?"
"I can't say. If you think you are
to blame for his absence, why do you
tease him so ?"
"Oh ! I don't know," Minnie
would reply, and then she would be so
silent when Guy did return that he
would be angry with her for that.
"You Bre the strangest pair." said
Susie one evening, when she had tried
in vntn for an hour to make them talk.
"I do believe you aie in love with each
other."
That must have hastened matters,
for the next morning they where both
missing.
After her work was done Susie sat
down upon the piazza to await their re
turn.
She was engaged upon some intricate
fancy work, aud while busily counting
her pattern she heard a step near her.
She looked up to find George May
nard's brown eyes fixed steadily upon
her.
"George 1" she exclaimed.
"Susie 1" he cried, and caught her to
his heart.
For a long delicious moment she re
mained there, and then she drew away.
"Your wife I" she attempted to say
severely.
"Yes, if you will have me," ( replied
George.
"But—but, are you not married ?"
"Why,, no. What made you imag
ine that V"
For answer Susie put Minnie's letter,
which was in her pocket, into his hand.
"I see," he replied. "I'll ask her
what she meant by writing such non
sense as that. But I think she meant
me, for I proposed coming down here
i with her."
An hour passed by during which
George told Susie of a piece of unex
pected good fortune which had befallen
him. He wished to be married imme
diately and take her to the home Min
nie had told her of. Susie had scarcely
consented when Guy and Minnie were
seen approaching them, the arm of the
former thrown about the slender waist
of the latter. All the mischief had
come back to Guys blue eyes. He took
off his bat to the couple on the piazza,
and said, solemnly: •
"I want but Little here below."
When the laugh had subsided George
turned to Minnie.
"Look here, Minnie Little, what did
you mean by writing to Susie about
Mrs. George Maynard ?"
"Guy has been telling me something
about it," she replied. "I did not
know that I had done so. Let me see
the letter."
George handed it to her. She read it
and laughed.
"It does look so, doesn't it ? But,
my dear friends, that is nothing more
than a slip of the pen."
JULY 90., 1885.
George W. Childs.
Anecdotes of his Generosity to his
Employes ana Others.
'Whatever may be said of tho Phila
delphia Luli< r and its proprietor,' said
President AmosOiimmitigs,in the Press
cduh, the other day, 'George W. Childs
is certainly tho most generous and
wholcsouled editor and owner of a news
paper in the world. No worthy journ
alist or journeyman printer when in
need ever applied to him and was refus
ed. A year or two ago Mr. Cliilos saw
that oue of his old editors was worn
out, and his work lacked the polish that
had always characterized it. lie called
him into his sanctum oue morning and
said :
'You have worked foi me forty years.
You have always done your work hon
estly and acceptably. lam now going
to retire you at full salary. Take your
wife and children, go into the country
and enjoy yourself. Come or send to
the office every Saturday and draw your
salary. Hereafter your time, as well as
your salary, is your own.'
The old editor overwhelmed Mr.
Childs with thanks, and departed. On
the succeeding Saturday he went to the
counting-room and tho cashier refused
to pay him his salary.
'Wait,'he said, 'and I'll go and see
Mr. Childs about it.'
He went to Childs, and Childs told
him to pay the man for a week's ser
vices.
'But he is no longer on the paper,'
the cashier suggested.
'That makes no difference,' Mr.
Childs remarked, 'pay him his salary as
long as he lives.'
'But, Mr. Childs,' broke in the cash
ier, 'do you know this man is worth o
ver three hundred thousand dollars ?'
'I hope ho is,' Mr. Childs responded,
'lt speaks well for him. The fact that
lie is worth that money is no reason
why I should not pay him his salary af
ter his forty years of- faithful service.
If lie had squandered his money in rum
or dissipation you would have said that
it would be all right to retire him on
salary because he had no money. His
prudence and thrift deserves at least an
equal reward. Pay Jhim his salary as
long as he lives, and say no more about
it.'
The old editor died three raoutlis af
terward,leaving four hundred thousand
dollars to his wife and children, but his
salary was paid up to the day of his
death.
Another instance of Mr. Child's
kindness to his employes is shown in
the case of a man who was employed
on the Lcihjcr when Mr. Childs first
bought it. lie was a good workman,
but a noted drunkard. When Mr.
Childs assumed control he went to him
and said, 'Mr. Childs, are you going to
keep me 011 the paper at my present sal
ary V
'What are you getting ?' Mr. Childs
asked.
'Fifteen dollars a week,' the man re
plied.
'I will double it on one condition,'his
employer said ,* 'that is, that you shall
never drink another drop of rum as
long as you are in my employment.'
The man accepted the proposition,
lie afterward became a well-known
temperance lecturer in Philadelphia,
although he complained bitterly when
adyertised as a reformed drunkard.
Childs kept his eye on him, and he also
has just been retired on salary. When
ever he de&ires to do any special work
for the Ledger, he is at perfect liberty
to do so. Meantime he draws his sal
ary regularly and his bills of expense
are never questioned. lie, also, is said
to be worth between three and four
hundred thousand dollars.
Another instance of Mr. CJhilds' be
nevolence was shown in the case of
Colonel John W. Forney. As tne twi
light of life apioached Forney became
very poor. llis good heart had been
strained to the utmost tension by pre
tended friends, and he was barely able
to make a living. One day he met
Childs.
'I am getting old,' the colonel said,
'and I owe a good]deal of money to per
sons not able to loose it. If you could
aid me in paying my debts, it would
make the latter part of my life compar
atively happy.'
'Go home and find out how much you
owe,' Childs replied, 'and let me know
in the morning.'
The next day Forney reported that
he owed about twenty-five hundred dol
lars. Childs sat down to write a check
for the money, when Forney said :
'Childs, you might as well make it
five thousand while you are about it.'
The good natured editor filled out the
check for $5,000 and passed it to For
ney. Within a week the colonel wrote
him a letter, saying that he had no idea
how happy the receipt of the money
had made him.
'I do not now,' he wrote, 'owef a cent
to anybody in the world, and I am
twenty-five hundred dollars ahead.'
The colonel, with prehensile friend
ship, had accepted the generous man's
check, as a gift, ana not. as a loan.
Not long afterward the colonel died.
He left his family in comparative pov
erty. On learning'of this Mr. Child's
Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance.
remembered that while Mr.Forney was
clerk of the House of Representatives
at Washington, he bad paid $30,000 in
to the public treasury on account of the
defalcation ot one of his subordinates.
Mr. Child's went to Samuel J. Randall,
told him of the situation of Colonel
Forney's family, and asked him to see
whether the money that had licen paid
to the government, by Colonel Forney
on account, of the defalcation could not
be returned. Mr. Randall investigated
the case. It appeared that Colonel
Forney, while technically responsible
for the defalcation, was not actually to
blame. Through Randall's influence
Congress passed a bill returning the
money to Forney's family, with inter
est. On looking over her husband's pa
per's Mrs. Forney discovered that For
ney had borrowed the live thousand dol
lars from Mr. Childs. On the next day
she appeared at th * Ledger office and re
turned the sum. Mr. Childs said :
•I'll take the money,Mrs.^Forney,and
place it to your credit. It is for your
use alone. As long as you liye
you shall have the use of it, but I
want it placed so that it shall not be
swallowed up in case of any misfortune
to you.'
It is not generally known that the re
cent action of Congress in making Gen.
Grant a retired gen era 1| of the army on
full pay is due to the efforts of Geo. W.
Childs; but such is the fact, as any one
can ascertain by tr.lking with the Grant
family.— -New York Journalist.
A Romantic Incident.
A Feeble Old Mother in Search ot
a Daughter—At the Wedding.
(New York Herald.)
Among the emigrants who arrived
at Castle Garden the other day, was
an old woman, bent with age. She
had lived her allotted three-score years
and ten and her feebleness made her
an object of universal pity. On the
steamer she occupied stifling quarters
in the steerage, but her companions
were kind to her, and the voyage was
made as endurable as possible. She
said that her name was Janowski and
that she came from Cracow, Poland.
She told an interpreter that she had a
daughter somewhere in the states,
near the Atlantic ocean, but where
she did not know. The government
officials finally decided to send her
back to Poland under the law which
prohibits the landing of emigrants
wo are likely to become public burd
ens. The old woman protested, but
in vain.
The day for sailing arrived,and she
was told that she must go onboard of
the vessel. Age had made her child
ish, and she sank upon the rude wood
en seats and cried as if her heart
would break. An official gathered up
her bundle of clothing,when the shawl
which was wrapped around it became
loose and the clothing fell out. An
envelope, torn and soiled, foil on the
floor, and the official picked it up. It
bore the postmark of Newark, N 4 J.,
and was addressed to the old woman
iu Cracow, Poland.
'Where did you get this ?' asked
the interpreter of the old woman.
'My daughter Jennie sent that,'she
replied sadly. 'She is my only child,
and all that I have on earth.'
It was decided to take Mrs. Janow
ski to Newark and endeavor to find
her daughter. A gentleman, who
had become interested in the old wo
man, volunteered to go with her, and
next morning they started. Arrived
at Newark inquiries were made,and a
Hebrew woman was found who said
that she knew Jennie very well.
'Come this way, I will show you,'
she said.
The trio proceeded up Caual street
until they came to a frame house in
front of which a crowd had assembled.
'Jennie is to be married to-day,'
said the guide. 'The ceremony is
just being performed.'
The old woman forced her way
through the crowd in the narrow en
try. In the neat but poorly furnished
room the wedding guests had assem
bled. The bride, attired in a dress of
spotless lawn, trimmed with tresh
daisies, stood besides the groom,a fine
looking young Hebrew, awaiting the
words which would make them one.
A commotion was heard in the hall
way, and, as the guests at the door
separated, the bridb uttered a cry of
"Mother !" and the old woman rush
ed into her arms. The scene between
the mother and daughter was very af
fecting, and tears of joy were shed at
the nuptial feast.
