SELECT STORY.
OAUGHT A TAHTAB.
in' a ; r.
, IVFr. yjntlirop was a physician, a wid
ptycr, aiijl tlio father of two children.
His qiiit't' homo Imd been tindur thu
charge rf a hoimekeoppr rather more
thnn a. year, and as tho evenings began
lo lengthen, and tlio Vintcr winds sound
Jid their premonitory notes through the
leafless branches, ho began more sensi
bly to miss tho comforts and endear
luenti of an unbroken home circle, and
to think seriously of filling tho vacant
seat by his hearth.
Tlio doctor, despite tho ndvico of his
tlders in tho profession, had married
too young, and as a consequence, found
himself at ill) with a small family upon
his hands, and au income somcwliat
purrottor and more precarious than ho
could have desired. Still ho Was a
handsome man, was a great favorite
among the ladies, and possessed au ex
cellent professional reputation. Under
ihese circumstances ambition whispered
that it would be very possible for htm
to contract a brilliant alliance! to carry
off Bomo dashing lady whoso solid
charms should allay his pecuniary vex
ations; whilo her beauty, her wit and
her stylo Bhould make him tho envy of
half the town To do the doctor jus
tice, ho did not draw on his imagination
for all these details; they wore' suggest
ed to him rcady-mado in the person of
Miss Minerva Hall, a lady whose ap
parent ago was 25 or 20.
On tho other hand, he know a little
cottage just out of town, embowered
amid roses and honeysuckles and
clumps of evergreens, where dwelt in
the retirement of domestic peace and
tranquility the solace and joy of a wid
owed mother and the pet and idol of
the small circle of cultivated and warm
hearted people with whom she moved
sweet Annie Huntington.
Anii'o was gentle and fair-haired; she
had noncof the golden graces or sub
tle fascinations of her own rival: but
she possessed what was better, a refined
and educated mind, an amiable disposi
tion, and a warm, loving heart.
Tho doctor's first wife had been a
woman of this stamp quiet and domes
tic in her tastes; gentle and affectionate
in disposition; and tho doctor had some
rather distinct impressions that these
same qualities had had much to do
with tho hap'.iness of those few years
of married life. He was a domestic
man; ho loved his home and homo en
joyments and homo endearments; yet,
nevertheless, Amy bad come to him a
portionless bride, and the consequence
was he was in debt now, and harrasscd
daily for funds.
Onod reary November evening the
doctor came home from a round of
most vexatious professional calls to find
tea not ready, the housekeeper cross,
tho children in tears. Before tho cloth
was scarce removed the children were
sent to bed for some trivial misdemean
or; and shortly afterward tho house
keeper, irritated at somo sharp remark
of the doctor's, slammed tho door be
hind her and retired to her own room.
Th.'B left alono to his own medita
tions, tho doctor fell very naturally to
soliloquizing, and bis soliloquy took
very much tho tone of the dismal rain
which beat continually against the
windows.
"What a miserable life is this to lead!
It will bo tho ruin of me and my child
ren soon, that is certain. But how to
mend it? Tho truth of tho matter is, I
ought to marry a fortune. I'm bother
ed to death to'day with duns. There's
the grocer's bill hasn't hi en paid these
six months, and the butcher's bill is
about due; ami the interest of tho mort
gage on this house must be paid next
month. To be sure, with tho right kind
of management, all these things could
bo put straight in tho courso of time;
out a housekeeper at tho head of intern
al affairs Nn't like a good wife, I've
seen that; neither, I have a slight sus
picion, aro all women like Amy. Poor
soul! ho was a good wife tome; but
then I ought not to have married her
when I did. Why couldn't I have wait
ed awliilo and not havo plunged myself
headlong into I know not what? Well,
'exiieriencQ is a dear school, but fools
will learn in no other.' There's Minerva
Hall, now that would be a match
worth talking about; a oouplo of thous
aud at least, I suppose, slui will bring
to tho man who is fortunate put ugh to
win htr, besides her wit and tho queen
ly air she ha. It does ono good to seo
hor oouio walking down tho street, head
up, and such a bust! and her slender
foot fairly scorning tho ground she
walks on. They say suoh women aro
apt to have a temper, but I think that's
all nonsense; besides no man will object
to a little spirit of tho right sort. As
to her being heartless, that's all non
sense too. lively woman has a heart,
only every man hasn't tho wit to lay
nit nanus upon it.
J rust mo to lind tho soft in a woman's
lioart. Onoo get your hand wound in
unong the heart strinjrs and you can
manage tho proudest of them. Now
.Minerva lias a sort ot weakness Jor me
I know that I've Been it this long
time, and on tho whole I don t believe
I shall do better than to marry her."
Tlio doctor paused, and I think a vis
ion iff tin' pretty cottage and its fairer"
inmate flitted across his brain, for he
grow more deeply pensive, and a gleam
of tenderness softened his dark evo,
But presently he muttered;
'Pshaw 1 that will never do; sho has
no fortune!1' .
Things grow ha.y in his brain for
awhile, unit then, as if just art ived at a
sudden resolution, ho started up, array
ed himself for a walk, and went out.
When ho eamo back, it was as the af
fianced husband of Minerva Hall.
A short timo elapsed to tho doctor
it seemed very short until sho was
brought homo to preside as Mrs. Win
throp over his household.
It may bo doubted whether, oven on
his wedding night, tho doctor felt him
self supremely blest; but perhaps tho
first real tangible drop of bitterness in
his cup was" tasted when ho saw his
handsome wife stand before her mirror
and divest herself of a magnificent ot1
ot laiso leelli und two or tlueo heavy
braids of hair. These sliuht operations.
together with tho washing off of u coat
ot rougo ami pearl powiler, wrought
quite a transformation in tho beautiful
Miss Hall. Ono luoruiiiL' shoiilv after
Mrs. Wjnthrop was going shopping,'
anu uesirou nor nego lorn to supply he
with tlul necessary funds.
""I nm extremely sorry,1' replied tlio
FRIDAY, MAY 4,
doclor blandly, "but reatly, my dear, I
haven't tho money by mo this morning,"
Tho full, red lip, whoso pout during
tho courtship had been so bewitching,
swelled now in earnest in a wav that
Ncasn't half as fascinating, when she
satil, "A pvetty reply to inako to my
first request for money; doubtless this
is only tlm commencement of tho insults
which I shall bo called upon to endure."
Tho doctor was a hltlo chagrined,
and i oiilicd, "Very likely, madam; for
when I married you I expected you to
find yourself in pin money."
"You did, eh!" sho retorted. "So you
married mo for my money, did you ?
and you have tho impudenco to tell mo
of it to my face, too, actually boforo
tho honeymoon is over. It is shameful,
sir; it is outrageous 1''
Tlio doctor strove to apologize, but
tho virago hid tho advantage of him,
and she continued to pour out thu tor
rent of invectivo long after ho had
placed the door between them and was
hurrying down tho street.
As this scene had commenced at the
breakfast table its effects upon the
children, who were present, can bo bet
ter imagined than described That day
tho doctor took tho pains to ascertain
tlio amount of Mrs. Winlhrop's "for
tune " It turned out to consist in thn
interest of twenty-five thousand dollars,
which ceased at her death. Subsequent
discoveries proved to him that, as tlio
result of tho lady's extravagance, her
account at tho banker's was usually
overdrawn.
Tho delightsomeness of tho doctor's
evenings at home may bo imagined.
Generally his recourse after tea was the
newspaper or a book; or if tho house
hold atmosphorc was too stormy ho be
took himself to a small supper room,
which was usually denominated his
study. Sitting there ono evening, whilo
his wife was entertaining two or three
fascinating young friends in the puilor,
he heard a timid knock at the door, and
his little golden. lnired Amy entered;
his first born, hi pet, the namesake of
his early love. She led her younger
brother by tho hand, and both wore
crying.
The doctor's heart was touched. By
some strange forgctfulness he seemed
never, till this moment, to have taken
into consideration tho claims of his
children in the choice of a stepmother
for them. Now. as if in a magic glass,
tho enormity of his conduct in this re
spect was held up before him. Stretch
ing out his hands ho said tenderly:
"Come here. Amy darling, and tell
mo what grieves you.''
She glided gently into his embrace,
and Harry climbed noiselessly to his
father's knee.
"Please, papa,'' said Amy, timidly,
"is tho new mother to be always our
mother; or will sho go away, byo-and-bye,
as our own mamma did!"'
The doctor's eyes filled with tears,
and he inquired, with a choking voice:
"Why do you ask mo such a question,
my dear V
"Because, if she is only to stay hero
a little while, I will try to bo patient
and good till she is gone," replied Amy;
"but oh! papa, I hope sho will not be
hero always.'1
"Spirit of the gentle, departed Amy!
wero thou hovering near, to watch the
upwellingof that long slumbering foun
tain of parental tenderness 'f Closer,
closer to his heart ho held tho dear off
riprinu of his youthful love, and asked:
"What is it, Amy d.nling: Tell pa
pa what tlto new mother has dono."
"Oh! it is many things, papa," re
plied Amy. "First of all, she don't love
mo and Harry. I am sure she don't, for
she scolds us so, aud says such cruel
things; calls us 'beggar's brats !' Does
that mean our own minima?''
"Go on, my dear,'' said the doctor.
"What else?"
"Then sho makes us out in the nurs
qry, vouknow," continued Amy.
I'ho doctor's heart reproached him
for over having consented to this ar
rangement. "Anil she only gives us dry bread
and little bits of pio and cake that aro
eft, because sho says now that she has
been cheated into marrying a beggar,
she must be economical."
1'iie doctor thought of a new set of
expensive jewelry brought homo that
morning, and sighed.
"Jiut that is not all nana, hhc strikes
us; look theio!" and tlio little one strip.
ped up her baby brother's sleeve and
showed tho marks upon his arm. And
theso were Amy's children.
"Ui! tool that 1 was!' groaned tho
repentant father.
For a half hour lie held thu children
on his kneo and comforted them. It
made them very happy, for childish sor
rows aro easily assuaged, and then tak
ing a hand of each ho led them into the
nuisery and saw them laid into their
iiuet bed; nor did ho leave them till.
looked in sweet, childish embrace, they
both slept quietly.
I'lio next morning there was a scene.
It was commenced b,- somo mild re
quest of tho doctor's with regard to tho
iiursey arrangements; for the doctor
had by this tuna learned the fallacy of
his old notions respecting the ease with
which a spirited femalo may he muiiug
ud, and ho now actually dreaded an en
counter with Mrs. Dr. Wiuthrop.
"Did he.oxpect her to trouble herself
about another woman's brats t" said
she. "No; ho hired a nurscrv maid for
that it win uono of her business, to be
sure, whether he ever paid her or not.
is lor ino children coming to tho table
with her, it was a ridiculous whim, and
as long as sho was mistress of that
house it should never bo tolerated. Of
courso when they wero grown nn it
would bo different! but no slobbering
pinuforo babies should ever bo seen at
her Ublo.
"Madame!" cried tho dootor, euragod
at her impudence, "I fancied I m iri ied
a lady, wliun I married you, but I seo I

'Ha!'' shy exclaimed, with a laugh
of bitter sooru, "you thought you caught

that yon 'Caught a Tartar!'"
"I hiiliovo you, madam," sud the
doctor; and vising from thu table, ho
wont forth to pay his professional vis.
its, although at first he felt more inclin
ed to hurl something nt hor.
Such scenes as theso wero frequently
enacted in tho doctor's establishment,
and tho children suffered accordinolv.
But it would seem that tho geutlo spirit
of their departed mother hovered over
tho housohold for tho protection of her
near cuiinron, lor shortly aiterward a
malignant lover uioku out in tho noigli
borhood, nnd tho onlv onu in that fum

1883.
l)r. Wintlirop now suddenly awokn
to his duties, and from tho dream of
gain which had enthralled him after
tho dtceaso of his first wife. Again
was ho sitting in his lonely room, nnd
gazing around in bewilderment. Tho
lire, wns going out in tho grate; tho can-'
dlo was wasting and fluttering upon tho
table, and still, as when an hourngo ho
had fallen asleep, the dismal November
rain beat against tlto windows. Tho
doctor rubbed his eyes, looked eagerly
around him, and then fervently ojacu
lated, "Thank heaven 1" .
Tlio next evening found Dr. Wiuv
throp a guest at Hose Lawn. A week
later ho was tho accented suitor of
sweet Annio Huntington, and it was
not many months before Iio led from
the altar a happy brido.
Homo picture, very different from
those seen in his dreams, greet thu doc
tor no,v of an ovening, and under tho
quiet but efficient management of his
gentlo wife tlio wrinkles havo disap
peared from his brow, tho caro from his
heart, and he is now a prosperous and
happy man.
Three Ways of Lite.
WHAT A SON 1)111 WITH HIS ALLOWANCE.
A certain rich man being reminded
by tho increasing weight of years that
ho would never bo any younger, nnd
must ono day go tho way of all flesh,
called about him his three hods, whom
he thus addruisud :
"My children, when I die all I have
will be yours, but in addition to the
property which I shall divido among
you equally I havo a ring in which is
set a diamond of great value. This I
intend for him who after a twelvo
mouth shall have made tho greatest
advance toward success, in life. Here,
take each ofyoitonoof thoso purses con
taining a hundred pieces of silver, go
out into thu woild, and at the expiia
lion of tlio time prescribed return, that
I may judge which among you de
serves the prize."
Thereupon the sons received their
father's blessing, and, taking tho pur
ses of silver, went away. But when a
year nnd a day wero passed they re
turned and presented themselves" be
fore their father, and it appeared they
had chosen widely different means of
gaining a common end.
"My father," said tlio eldest, "with
a part of the hundred pieces of silver
thou gavest me I bought a certificate
setting forth my great skill in healing
the sick. I cultivated my beard and
put on my glasses that I might appear
to be a man of learning. I gave out
that I was able to curo all known dis
eases ; I administered bread pills and
sweetened water to all who placed
themselves under my care, and as a
result I havo gained wealth to tho ex
tent of 1000 pieces of gold.'1
"My son," remarked the parent, well
pleased, "truly, thy cheek is colossal."
"My father," then said tlio second
youth, "with thy hundred pieces of
silver I purchased votes by which I
secured to myself a government con
tract. I engaged to transport tho
mails for ono thousand pieces of gold
per annum, and by exceeding prudence
of management I have garnered profits
upward of fifteen hundred pieces of
gold."
"Verily, thy prudeuco is monumen
tal,'' exclaimed the delighted father,
"but thy brother has not yet spoken."
"With one of thy pie'ees of silver,
0 my father" began tho youngest son,
"I bought somo tools and became a
plumber "
"My son, thou pride of mv heart 1"
cried tho enraptured old man, falling
on ms neck-, whilo tho happy tears
coursed down his aged cheeks," "thou
needst say no more. Thou hast clear
ly shown that thou hast discovered tlio
true road to success. It is to thee.
without a question, tho ring belongs."

somo unwise person, "The world owes

the boy says to himself, "If it is true
that tho world owes mo a living, then
I'm all right. Ho finds a place, and

the world owes mo a liviiif. whv

he loses his place and has nothimr to

made stronger by tho facts that over
seven hundred Hebrew words corre

civilization there exists forms of free
masonry. Contrasting the natural

his neighbor, and is friendly to tho
white man. Concluding ho said :

To tiii: Editor, of the Philadki.imiia
Eviinino Tiu.iuikaimi : In a leading edi-
torial in your paper of Thursday, April
19. tho crimes of formnr naturalization
papers and tax receipts, aud ot their
use for political purposes, aro charged
unon me. as tbov reneatedlv havo been
. ' . ' J 1
by other newspapers,
I have borne theso libellous charges
in silence as long as my duty to myself
and to those who aro to come after me
permits. I deny all complicity with,
or responsibility lor, any such action by
any one. At no time in either my pro
fessional or political life havo 1 ever
aided, abetted, or knowingly permitted
the crimes thus charged upon me. If
they were committed during my chair-
manship ot tho democratic state com
mitteo of Pennsylvania, it was without
my knowledgo and in violation or my
plainly defined policy as the head of my
party. There aro yet living plenty of
witnesses who can affirmatively prove
my innocenco of these oft-repeated
falsehoods.
In being silent hitherto, I havo acted
on the belief that tho people among
whom I livo wore tho best judges of
their truth or falsity. Since their ori
gin in a heated political campaign, by
personal enemy, fifteen years ago, I
havo been four times chosen to tho
state senate, each timo leading my par
ty, and three times nominated andonco
elected to tho United States senate. I
refer to these as evidence of the opin
I ious of the people among whom I
dwell as to my personal record.
Surely, if I wero a forger and a po
litical leper, as eoino newspapers de
clare mo, theso things could not havo
happened.
If Iho public man, whom you say
has been au "active, able and industri
ous legislator, remains longer silent
under theso baseless charges, they will
becomu crystallized into political histo
ry false an unfounded though they be.
Under our political system the pub
lic man has much to bear, of ctiticism
and injustice from tho political press ;
but I trust that tho press will not deny
to ono of them who seeks to do his du
ty, as ho sues it, to the people of his
native state, tho publication of this em-
phntio denial of a long endured c
umny. Yery respectfully yours,
