GOOD-BYE, PHOUD WOELD.
Oood-Bye, proud world I I'm going home t
Thou art not my friend ; I nm not thine ;
Too long through weary crowdi I roam
A river nrk on the ocean brlno;
Too long lam tossed like tho driven foam
nut now, proud world, I am going liomoi
Oood-byo to Flattery's fawning face,
To Grandeur with bis wild grlmaco ;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye,
To supplo onice, low and high !
To crowded halls, to court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet j
To thofw who go and thoso who come,
tlood-bje, proud world, I'm going home.
I go to seek my own hearthstone,
liosomcd in yon green liULs alono,
A secret lodgo In a pleasant land,
Whose gro es tho f rollo fairies planned,
Where arches green tho livelong day
Kcho tho blackbird's roundelay,
And evil men have never trod
A spot that Is sacred to thought and Clod.
Oh, when I nm sate In my sylvan home,
I mock nt the pride ot (1 recce nnd Rome ;
And when I nm stretched beneath the pines,
Whero tho evening star so holy shines,
I laugh at tho lore and prldo of man.
At the sophist schools, and the learned clan ;
For what nro they all In their high conceit,
When man la tho bush with God may meet J

SELECT STORY.
THE OLD WELL.
IIV CI.YIIF. RAYMOND.
'So you want to know if I ever lind
oina'nco T Haiti Aunt Mnrtrnrct. lean
ing back in her easy clmir, with n mild,
rellectivo look upon her peaceful face.
"Yes, something iu Happen to mo
onue that may seem like one to you,
although I never thought ot calling it
by tlint name."
"J.et s hear it, auntie, please, i an
swered, pushing tho velvet hassock
nearer to her, and giving mi extra shake
to tho bright coal lire.
The night was somewhat cold and
hlnsterinir outside, but that only mado
Aunt Margaret's loom, with its warm-
hued turuiturc, its tsottiy-ciiHhioncti
easy chairs, its glowing fire and shaded
astral lamii, look all the more inviting.
nho was a distant relative who una
come to pay us a long-promised visit,
and from my first glance at her line,
stately figure and her noble, placid
countenance, knowing mat sue nan
never married, I got the notion into my
head that bIic must havo had a romance.
Her hair was still brown and abuudaiit,
while her eyes shone clear and blue as
a young girl's. And yet Aunt Margaret
was well past titty.
"Well, my dear," she began, Htmling
softly, "'onue upon a time, as the story
book's say, 1 was young, and considered
rather pretty '
"Uli, no need to tell me that, unit
Margaret," I interrupted, gazing with
unfeigned admiration at tho handsome
face into which a delicate rose-odor
came so brightly at the memory of her
girlish loveliness. "You might easily
carrv ott the palm ot beauty mini us
now, it you telt so inclined.
She smiled airaiu as she saw how
sincere was my tribute to her charms,
and resumed her story:
"I had of course my share of admir
ers among the village youth, nnd was
a great favoiite at balln" quilting parties,
husking bees, and all the other enter
tainments of village society; yet
reached the age of 20 heart-whole nnd
fancy-free, still kecpini; house for mv
wulowetl lather, ns 1 had done almost
from childhood, and never caring to
make any change.
"JJecauso the right one hadn t como
along, Auntie," I said, eagerly, thinking
ot my "bonnie Uharlie, with his curly
locks and lightsome heart, aud wonder
ing how girls in any age of the world
could have loved, married and lived
happily without ever having known
the suuliglit of his presence.
"Well, jMadce, he caino at last, con
tinued Aunt Margaret, with a gentle
sigh which seemed to waft her far
hack into tho happy past, "and the
manner of his coming was one that I
can never forget. Our house stood at
one end of the street, and iu a far cor
ner of the lot stood an old well, neg
lected and unused for years, save by us
silly girls, who found it a romantic
spot to try our fortunes by on Hal
lowe'en. But it was very dangerous,
being unprotected by curb or fence,
and standing as it did close to the pub
lic road, I had often begged my father
to make it more secure, lint he neglect
ed it until my prophecy of danger from
it was at last fulfilled.;
"Une datk, starless uveiung in Ucto-
ber, returning from a visit to a neigh
bors, I was passing the old well, when
suddenly a low groan of agony caught
my ear. Instantly I realized tho awful
truth that some traveler had fallen into
the dark and dangerous pit, and my
lieai t stood still with horror. But only
for a moment. I saw the need of in-
stunt action, and, leaning over tho edge
ot tho black, yawning hole, 1 called
loudly to the person within not to de-
pair, tor 1 would soon bring him as
sistance.
"Then rushing to the house, and
calling wildly at every step for help, I
began an eager, trembling search for a
rope, which J soon had knotted linnly
around a Btout, crooked old pear tree
standing near the well. Then I called
again to tho poor, groaning victim be
low. I bade him grasp the rope tight
ly aud let mu pull him up. But it was
no use. My only answer was another
moan, so low and deep that 1 thought
the poor wretch was dying.
"What to do 1 did not know. No
help had come, nnd I feared to lose n
moment by going after it. But I was
young and strong and nerved with tho
courage ot desperation, so 1 did not
hesitate, long. How I managed it suc
cessfully I never could tell, but I ltt
myself down by the rope until I reach
ed tho bottom ot thai dark abyss and
found tho helpless being, whom Provi
dence had sent mo to rescue, too mucl
injured to move a limb.
"As gently and quickly as I could, in
that awful situation, 1 fastened the
ropo around his body and lifted him in
a more convenient position to be drawn
up; then hand over hand, like a sailor,
and blistering the skin as 1 went,

"Ho was a young man then only 27
yet he had already been married and
divorced. His young wife had been
unfaithful to him, and after bearing
with her faults and the disgrace they
brought upon his namo as long as lie
could, they wore legally separated, and
the care of their only child was en
trusted to him. This "child his little
Lily was a thetno of which he never
tired. Hour after hour he talked to
me of her, praising her beauty and
goodness, planning for her future with
us, and begging me, a thousand times
over, to love her for his sake.
"But he had no need to ask mo that.
Anything that belonged to him was
dear to me. Even the faithless wifo
who boro his name was an obiect of
uucresi to my tn nil, ana many times 1
found myself Pitying her for having
cast aside tho priceless blessing of
Hugh's love. For I knew that his old
love for her was dead and buried, and
that the whole wealth of affection in
his heart and soul was mine mine.

was to como to us for good the moment through a number of streets convers
we returned from our tour. How I ing familiarly, when all of a miiIiIpm
loved tho child I not only for her father's
sake, but for tho innato!. loveliness of
her own sweet, childish nature.
"She did not look like Hugh, there-
fore I know that she must resemble her
lost mother; and, if so, how beautiful
that mother must havu been! Lily was
a blonde, as I was, but the fairness of
my skin was snow wluto in hers, the
blue of her eyes was moro the intense
brilliancy of tho sapphire, and the
blonde of her hair tho shimmer of burn
ished gold. I can see Hugh now, as
lie stood with half tearful, half laugh
ing eyes, watching mo caress his dar-

calling mo the 'young stepmother.
"Tho week before Christmas found
us all as bright and happy as a pros-

but it brought a new no:or upon tno
scene who was destined to change it all

The Supreme Court Bhocked.
Tho Supremo Court of tho United
States is tho embodiment of dignity
and ponderous solemnity. Tho Jus
tices aro hedged about by bristling
points of etiquette that protect them
from ordinary people. Lately the
Court observed with uneasinc tho
presence of n tall, angular individual,
who slouched into the court room
without collar or necktie. The
nbsenco of these usual adornments wns
mado more conspicuous through the
fact of his neck being very long and
narrow.
Later in tho dny ho wns presented, to
the Supremo Court by Senator Plumb,
nnd was duly admitted to practicu as
Mr. Lvnn of Allen Uounty, Kansas.
Tho newly admitted Kansas lawyer np-
peared at his presentation sun wuuoui
collar or tic. It was announced that
he would make an argument before
the Court the next day in the case of
the Phienix Mutual Life Insurance
Company vs. Caroline A. Dester ct. al.
A perplexing question at once arose in
the minds of the Court. Possibly
Lynn of Allen County, Kansas, might
outrage the Court by leaving off his
collar and tie when he came to make
argument. If that was already
reasonable certain, might he not take
off his coat in the heat of his argu
ment, and grow excited and yell liis
brief into tho sensitivo ears of the now
deeply agitated Court Justice Gray
who hn"d sternly refused a lawyer
without a collar permission to make
an argument in the Massachusetts
court, where ho formerly presided, was
naturally consulted iu this trying
emergency. It was finally agreed that
the Chief Justice should check Lynn
of Allen County, Kansas, in his mad
career, if he should persist in his out
rage upon decorum. ,
Just before the case was called
Lynn entered tho court loom accom
panied by his partner. His partner,
a dark, sallow-faced man, wore a. col
lar about which a black tape was tied.
After a hurried consultation it was
resolved to first consult tho partner
who wore tho one collar belonging to
the firm before proceeding to extreme
measures. The partner was mysteri
ously summoned to the clerk's office,
where the matter win submitted . to
him by a subordinate of tho court :
"Why does your partner refrain from
wearing a collar or tie? Has ho taken
any vow that compels him to assume
such a peculiar attitude towaid soci
ety ?" It was explained to tho partner
that the Supremo Court was extremely
doubtful of the propriety of permitting
Lynn of Allen Couty to appear
in tho citso until ho had at least
corrected the details of his garb.
The partner explained that Lynn had
a throat trouble, and could not wear a
collar. "Oh, that is it." An explana
tion wns made to the Chief Justice, and
hu smiled, glad to be rid of the disa
greeable task of reprimanding the of
fender, and so Lynn was allowed- to
appear.
The appearance ot Jvnn before the
bar of the Court made a sensation. His
general appearance of roughness, his
angularity of manner and reckless ease
made every one expect some absurd
contretemps. He was an object well
worth a sketch as ho began his argu
ment. His hi"h, white forehead was
surmounted by a high peak of dark
hair that curled bactwaul. His sharp
nose, heavy lips, and pointed brown
goatee stood out iu bold relief upon a
countenance tanned by years of expos
ure to prairie winds and sun. His shirt
was open at the throat, showing a red
flannel undeishirt. At tho wrists the
red flannel appealed again iu the place
of cuffs. The argument was clear,
shrewd, and able, but tho manner of
its deliveiy was as uncouth and pecu
liar ns tho makeup of the. speaker. He
stood with his hands in his pockets at
times, aud then he would bound at the
Justices, snapping his bony fingers tu
their faces as if they were so many
jurymen, f ut the argument came to
an end without accident, greatly to
tho relief of tho Justices, who had
been upon the rack of suspense for
nearly twenty-four hours. Lynn is tho
first man who ever made an "argument
in tho court without a collar. Ohicano
