SELECT STORY.
A rORTUNATE MISTAKE. S
11V I'intOU LOttlMKIt,
It was 011 tho oveiiing of tho '2d of
May, In 185, that I went to hoar tlm
Httflmnn Princess Stralncrvoycc, who
al that time attracted tho faRliionnblo
world to lior conceits. I went to hear
tlio Princess pnrtly to kill time, and
partly from a ilcsiro to bco nnd hoar
for myself tlio marvelous foreigner
whose namo was In everybody's mouth.
SVlioti I readied Her Jlnjesly'tt con
cert room it was crowdod to its utmost
capacity. It was bo closely wedged
that one could havo studied anatomy,
nftei a fashion, merely from tho Im
pression of olio's neighbor's bones. At
tho eloso of tlio concert I was bornu
along with tho crowd, and jammed
through tho doorway at the risk of
breaking every rib in my body. Ere I
could escape from the throng, and
while 1 was shrugging my shoulders to
assure myself that my collar-bone was
in its proper position, I felt a hand
clasping my arm, and a musical voice
exclaimed :
"You good for nothing I I thought I
had lost you 1 What a frightful crush!
I do believe my arm is broken, and my
dress ruined, and all for tho sake of
hearing this Strainervoyeo 1"
I was on tho point of replying thnt I
agreed with licr, but restrained my
self, laughing inwardly at the novel
position in which I was placed, and
wondering who my fair companion
oould be. Evidently sho mistook me
for her brother, or, possibly, her hus
band, judging from tho familiarity of
her manner, for sho added, in n sym
pathizing tone :
"Forgivo me, Ralph your poor
ht-ad! I am sorry I inado you
come."
"Pardon me, madam," said I j "but
"Oh, nonsense, Ralph !'' sho inter
rupted me. "You havo become half
barbarian since you went to tho Cri
mea, to permit, mo to scat myself,
whilo you stand there as if I were your
wife, and you tou years married, in
Btead of your sister, whoso ready as
sistant and attendant in place of a
better you should be.''
"Excuso mo," said I, but "
"Ralph, I shall catch my deatli of
cold sitting here, and such a long ride,
too." Hero the lady gave a peculiar
shiver. "Do jump in and sit down, or
I will "
Wlint sho would have dono I did
not wait to hear: but takincr mv nlaco
besido her in the brougham, wo were
driven olf, whither I knew not whore.
"I won't ask yon to talk to me, with
that headache, but I want you to lis,
ten to me,'' began my companion, tho
moment wo started. " "1 wnutcd to
talk to you coming in, but that littlo
chatterbox, Maggie, prevented mo
from, saying a word to you. You re
member poor little Lucv Walters.
Ralph. Ilcr mother died about two
months ago, and tho poor g'ul has
Kono to live, with the Deans. Mr. and
Mrs. Dean has been very kind to her,
nut u is impossible lor them to do
raoro than shelter her. How anyone
can havo tho heart to wound Luov's
feelings is a mystery to me, and yet
every occasion that presents itself is
seized upon by tlio Wares and Kings
to insult her, even to commenting
upon the poor girl's father's actions, as
i sno couiu nave prevented that which
occurred twenty years ago, and I havo
seen Sarah Waro imitating her. walk,
regardloss p,f popr Luoy's tears. "
I could not restrain an exclama
tion of disgust as I listened to this.
"i knew it would diauust von.
Ralph," continued my companion.
"Well, tho doctor says now that Lucy
will alwnys be lame there can bo
nothing done for her. 1 havo been
thinking, ever eiuco her raothor died,
that if sho had a nood teacher sho
might not only bo independent, hut
nehieve a namo as a,n artist. You
should see snmo of her attempts. Sho
is a genius, aipli. Hut that would
requiro money, and where is tho raonoy
to oomo from T You know I haven t
much, Ralph, but I havo determined to
do something for our old playmate.
1 can save out of mv allowanco at
loast thirty pounds, and now if you
will double it, what will that not do
for Luoy ! I was counting it up tho
other day, and if I am correct it will
enable her tp ntod thp Bdiool of Do
tiign opd' take prjvnto lessons in Art
tor a yeav. ; nnd, at tho end of that
time, if I.uoy is alive, she yill show
the world what ft , iwoman can do,
When look at the nQor girl, with her
rare mjnd n,nd her craving for knowl
edge, I canuot help thinking how su-
lit-nur two is iq mu a mere luicr i ana
I somotimcB think that if she had my
place and I hers, thero would bo moro
justico in tho distribution of tho
world's woods and oomforts. Don't
say I'm silly nnd sontimental, Ralph.
i Know yon will givo your share to
ward tno sum, iiko a good mother, as
you arc l havo been talking to her
about it, and I know I can manage it
so as to ovcrrulo any Ecruples sho may
navo against receiving nuyimng irom
us."
Hero my companion became nuiet.
and tho question presented itself to my
mind, "How am I to epeapo from this
awkward position honorably ? Hero I
havo been guilty of listening to a com
munication intended for tho ear of an
other have been guilty of an inoxcu

I had at last summoned sufficient
courago 10 clear mv tnroat, and was-
auoui to oommonco my well.sludled
specon, wuen my companion gave a
littlo laugh, ns she said:
"Really, Ralph, you nro very enter

perceived a loophole wlieieliy I mL'lit

i sprang out oi uiu urougiiam and as

"Is your head still aching, Ralph T
Good-night 1 Wliy,y6n forgot to kiss

As lho fair faco was upturned to
miii6, with its tempting Hps awaiting
llio kiss, I pressed my shawl down
from my month stiddonly, .and as sud
denly felt my head dfAwnldown to ro
celvo tho mosl delicious kiss that ever
was bestowed by maiden.
"You need not watt 5 tho door is
open, and there stands Carrie, bless
her I" said my companion, as slid trip
ped up tlio steps, whilo I stood irreso
lute besido tho brougham.
"Then, my dear follow," I mentally
ejaculated, "it is timo you wero off. '
And, seating myself in tho brougham
onco more, I Was again driven off, but
whither I know not. I only knew
that I had lost a charming companion,
whoso lips a. moment sliieo wero press
ed against my "own, and whom, in all
probability, I might never mcc again.

of mo' when b1io" ascertained as sho
most certainly would, sooner or later
the truth 1
My speculations were, howovcr, cut
short by tho abrupt stoppage of tho
Ibrougham, whereupon I stepped out
ileicurely, picking up from tho bottom
'of tho carriage as I, did so, an ex
luisitolv cmbroldorod hnndkorolnof.
lUpon lookincr at it closelv. I norcmeil
,inu .luiuam -. vv. in ono oi tuo oor
Inera. I was reminded of mv situation
at that moment by tho driver's inquir
ing "if Mr. Ralph would want him any
more to night i'so I merely shook my
head, and without vouchsafing a word
of explanation, I turned away from
him and walked homeward.
Evidently I bore a very strong re
Hcmblanco to Mr. Ralph, whoovor ho
was. When his own sister and tho
servant wero deceived by tho resem
blance, it must certainly bo very great.
True, my cap was drawn down firmly,
almost concealing my eyes, and tho
lower part of my faco waH muflled up
In a heavy shawl, still, taking every
thing into consideration, I said' to my
self, tho similarity of dress, feature and
manner must bo wonderful thus to do
6eive one's relatives.
It was a lato spring, and the frosts
in May cut off most of tho fruit round
London. Tlio night was in that com
municative mood termed "ninDintr."

",iii;u luiwiiiu uusftiy, revolving in
my mind tho different aspects of my
adventure, as they presented them
selves, ono after another, and resolving
to keep my o,vn counsel. I had walk
ed perhaps a mile when I observed a
gentleman approaching at a walk as
rapid as my own. As ho drew nearer
I) was struck with his resemblance to
mo height, size, manner nnd dress,
even to tlio wrap around his neck, and
tho buttons upon his coat were the
exact counterpart of my own. I think
the resemblanco must have' struck him
at tho same time. ior. as wo wnrn nana.
ing each other, we involuntarily paus
ed, scanning each other closely and
curiously, then strode on. "Mr.
Ralph." I said to mvsnlf. ns T titrnwl
to look at him, Singularly gnoimh,
Mr. Ralph was at that moment lookuig
at mo ; bu.t the instant ho was detect
ed ho wheeled around and resumed his
walk, hro I reached my chambers I
resolved to ascertain, if it was possible,
who tho person was who dwelt, in tho',
largo house on tho Common, and who'
had arrived from tho Crimea so recent-,
ly, that I might thereby assure myself
to whom I was indebted for a dolio-
ious kiss, and whoso' acquaintance 1
was very desirous of making.
Early upon tho following morniiifr.
I sat down and wrote a few lines to
M!iss L,ucy Walters, the lamo girl, nnd
inclosing three ten pound notes, sealed

I fancied Miss Wrinht bestowed a
look of moro than ordinary curiosity
upon mo as my cousin presented mo i
but I I had tbo effrontery to meet
her inquiring look as if unconscious of
the fact that I had met thoso eyes
before, nnd had received from thoso
lips n sisterly kiss. As I seated my
self besido her 1 overheard tho words,
"taking everything into consideration,
I think very littlo blame can bo at
tached to tho gentleman," uttered in a
merry tone by a person who was at
ray elbow, but whoso faco was turnotl
from me.
"Prav. linvo ilnnn Tinlnli I'' aoi,l

Miss Wright, as she tapped his shoul

suffusing her cheeks.

strances. "Tbo fellow oven cavo her

"ltaiph r exclaimed Miss Wnnht.
energetically, as tho blood mounted to
her forehead, dyeing her faco and neck
Crimson.
"Come, come, Wright, don't ask us
to beliovo that !" exclaimed ono of tho
group.
"Well, sho cannot denv havinir com
plained to mo tho next day that ho
was exceedingly stupid thinking I
was the offender all tlio while and
scarcely ottered a word ; that, in fact,
sho had to do all, tho talking.
"We will take that with considera
ble allowance, too," replied ono of tho
listeners,
"1 met the fellow on tho road," re
sumed the gentleman : "and I must
say I never encountered a man so like
myselt in all my life.'
"in truth, you are a barbami. Mr.
Wright, to tell such things 'about vour
sister," exclaimed our hostess, with a
merry laugh.
"As if I did not owe her ten times
:ts much ! saul tho voung man.
"Ever since that evening sho has been
teasing mo in every conceivable man
ner," ho added, turning round sudden
ly toward her, and in doing so, en
countering my steady gaze, ho cjacula

facing me, "There he is !"
Aliss Wght flashed a meaning
glance upon him, then suddenly turn
ed 'toward' mo, ,n if to observo tho ef
fect his exclamation and manner
would 'produce upon me t but I was
equal to'the emercrencv. and maintain-
ed ad'tfftnifHdd composure.
"i ma not near tno nrst ot that,
Miss Wright," I said, as I cast a caro
less' glance over the wondering group,
and another of pretended nstonisliinoiit
upon Mr. Wright, who evidently felt
no little annoyance.
"l'erhaps it is lust ns well, was tlio
reply, as sho glanced at her brother.
"llalph really is unmerciful when ho
begins. I urn glad you did not hear
tho whole ;i but now that it is out, I
may as well givo a oorrect version of
the affair. Liko an attcntivo brother
ho permitted tho orowd to eeperato us
at1 the close of tho Princess Straiucr-
vovoo'a concert on Tuesday, nnd I wiu
so unfortunate as to mistake a stranger
for him, who accompanied mo homo
without acquainting mo with ray er
ror. Thinking that it was Ralph, and
thnt. his headaohe prevented him from
tajking, I did permit my tongue to
perform rather moro thati a fair share."
'lhcn all tho blame must bo laid
upon Mr., Wright. Ho should bo tho
lat to mention it. His want of proper
feeling is very much to bo deprecated ;
but let us hope that ho will change for
tho better," said our hostecs. 'I think
oven now he exhibits eignH of repen
tance." "And, havo you no idea who the
gentleman was, Miss Wright V I in
quired.
Until lately, she replied, placing an
emphasis upon tho word, "I had not
tho slightest clew to tho gentleman."
("Does sho know tho truth V I asked
myself, "Havo I betrayed myself T I
migia, uavo .Known mat ner woman s
instiuct would detect me."
Whilo thesonnd similar thoughts
occupied my mind I bcoamo eugaged
in an interesting conversation with
Miss Wright. In tho oourso of it al
lusion was made to the Princes Strain
ervoyeo.
"Didi attend her last concert t '
"Really, was it tho last or the ono
preceding it, or tho seoondt Cer
tainly I attended ono of them,
but which of them! My mem
ory was so treacherous. Perhaps it
was tho Inst; at least, thero wai a suf
focating crush."
And tho conversation went on .n
before. The digression removed all
doubts from her mind, d at lean had
known nothing of her adventuro prior
to that evening, whon her mischief
loving brother mado it public.
I do not think I was romantio at
that timo, and yet I must coovcbs that,
iruiu mu uugiiuiing oi our acquain
tance, I entertained tlio hopo that Miss
vvngnt would ouo dav become
wjfo, I, was uot disappointed.

it was pernaps six months alter wo

"Yes," sho replied i "it was very sin-,

"Doubtless ho did it to scciiro your

"Then ho has never had tho Batifcfao

said my wife.
"Of courgo ho has, though," said I.
"How do you know V inquired Mrs.
Clark, looking up from her work. "Ho

"But ho is living, Caroline," anid I.
"Who Is living t" sho asked.
"Tho person you so often tliiuk about,

and whom you kissed."
"Mr. Clark I" exclaimed my wife, as
tho work fell from her hands into her

"Mrs. Clark I" I retorted.
"You dou't think 1 How can you
say such a thing I" And a puzzled ex
pression rested on ray wifo's face that,
in spite of all my powers of resistance,
forced me to laugh aloud.
"Oh 1 1 remember now," sho said :
"Ralph said something liko that onco

"Then, Mrs. Clark, you deny having

Sho throw her work aside suddenly,
and arose. "Harry ! is it possible that

''Very probable, cortainly."
"And you havo concealed it all this

"Don't blamo. mo for doing what
neither you nor any other woman can
do," said, "and that is, keep a secret
unless it be her age."
"I will not believe it T" said Mrs.
Clark.
"Because you tried to surprise mo
into a confession nnd faik'J," I replied.
"Then let this bo the proof."
I was prepared for this scene, and I
drew from my pocket tho embroidered
handkerchiof and pointed out to her
innitials. Whereupon wo mutually
agreed that she had mado a "Fortunate.

hOKTV OiY Til EM 1101.1) A STATU CONVEN
TION AND NOMINATE A TICK11T.
WiLLiAMsfoitT, August 30.
There was a very Btnall representa
tion of delegates at tho Convention of
the National Greenback-Labor party.
Only about forty followers of the party
wero on hand when the convention as
sembled. It was nearly three o'clock in
the afternoon when Chairman Rvnder
called the convention to order. He said
he was not surprised at the small num
ber present, as it was an off year. Ho de
sired, however, that the convention
should make up in good work for the
apparent lack ot interest. After pray
er by Rev. William K Crosby, of War
rcn, the roll was called and a commit
tee on platform, with S. L Youngman,
of this city, as Chairman, was appoint
ed. After tho cominittemen had been
instructed by tho chairman as to their
duties they retired, and a coramittoo
on permanent organization was appoint
ed and in a few rainutos reported the
followiug officers : President. Thomas
A. Armstrong, of Allegheny; vice pres
idents, Thomas T. Lowis and Justus
Watkins. While the convention was
waiting for the committee on platform
speeches wero made by Thomas A.
Armstrong, Charles N. Britmm, J, K.
Sanborn and others, the addresses being
on the usual grouuds and theories and
all predicting an earlv success of tho
party, which, it was claimed, was now
sleeping. At four o'clock tho commit
tee on plattorm reported.
The platform, which was qnito lonj.',
asserts that money is solely the crea
tion of law, without regard to the ma-
terial used, and that tho government
should alono issuo and control its vol
ume ; denounces tho national banking
system as a crime against tho labor of
the country, the creator of wealth, and
for which both old parties were respon
sible ; charges that tho legislation of
the country has been controlled by the
raonoy power for twenty years, and
against the interests of the business and'
producing classes j asserts opposition to
all forms of monopoly in transporta
tion and telegraphy ; "denounces tho
monopoly of land as ono which had
wrought much damage and demands
that the land shall bo held for actual
settlers ; holds it as tho imperative duty
oi iuu government io piaco suon im
posts upon all impoited merchandise
that can readily bo produced in this
country ns shall at least equal tho diff
erencc in tlio cost of tho capital nnd la
bor and charges tho banks of tho Uni-
tod states with causing tho reduction
of tho duties on imports by tho passago
of the rovenue law through tho laid
Congress for tho purpose of rolioviug
themselves of tho payment of taxes
and to perpetuato the natioual debt ;
favors n national bureau of labor to
collect and furnish tho people statisti

1 ho platform was nnanimousl v admit.
ed. Tho convention then proceeded to
nominate a Stato ticket. For Auditor
Oeuoral, T. P. Rynder, of Blair, was
nominated by acclamation ; for Stato
li oasuror, Dr. w. D. Whitney, of War
ren, was unanimously nominated. Hu
declined, but finally accepted. After his
acceptance a telegram was received
tiom uaptam A T. MarM. of Er o.
suiting that ho would accept the uomi
nation for .State Treasurer Dr. Whit
ney then again declined in a neat speed
nnd Captain Marsh was nominated by

I'llKTTV LITTLE STOnT WHICH INVOLVES
A FAULK OltTWO.
Onco on a timo thero was a man who
went into tho wood to cut hop-poles,
but ho could find no trees so long nnd
traight and slender as no, 'wanted, till
ho came high up under a heap of stones.
i hero no heard groans and moans as
tough some one was at death s door.
So ho went up to bco who it was that
needed help, nnd then ho heard that
the noise came from tinder a great flat
stone which lay upon tho heap. It
was so heavy it would havo taken many
a man to lilt it. liut tho man went
down again in the wood and cut down
tree, which ho turned into a lover,
and with that he tilted up tho stone,
aud lo I out from under ft crawled a
ragon, and mado at tho man to swal
low him up. But tho man said ho had
saved tho dragon's life, and it was
shameless thankTcssricss in him to want
to cat him.
"May be," said tho dragon ; "but .
you might very well know I must be
starved when I havo been hundreds oi
years under tho stoneand never tasted
meat. Bcsidesdl's tho way of tho world
that's how it!pays its debts."
The man pleaded his causo stoutly'
aud begged for his life ; and at last
they agreed to take tho first living
thing that camo for a daysman, and 1
us doom went tho other way tho man
should not loso his life, but if ho said
tho samo as the dragon, the dragon
should cat tho mau.
Tho first thatcamo was an old hound.
who ran along tho road down below
under tbo hillside Him they spoke to'7
and begged him to judge.
"God knows," said tho bound, "I
have served my master truly siuco I
was a littlo whelp. I have watched
and watched many a night through.
whilo he lay warm asleep on his car. ' '
and I have saved houso and homo from'
firo and thieves moro than onco ; but '
now I enn neither seo nor hear any
more, ho wants to shoot mo. And so I
must run away, and Blink from houso
to house, and beg for my living till I
dio of hunger. No ! it's tho wav of '
the world," said the hound ; "that's tho '
way it pays its dobts. '
"Now I am coming to eat vou un."
said tho dragon, and tried to swallow ,
tho man again. But tho man begged
and prayed hard for bis life, till they
agreed to lake tho noxt comer for a
judge. And if ho said tho samo as tho
dragon aud tho hound, the dragon was
to cat him and get a meal of man s
meatj but if bo did not say so, tho man
was to get oil with his life.
oo there carae an old horse limning
dowu the road which ran under the ,
hill. Him they called out to come and ,
settle tho dispute. Yes ; he was quite
ready to do that.
;Now I havo served mv master." -
said tho horse, "as long as I could draw '

and so I am to have a bullet through i j
me, ho says, Nay I Nay ! It's the way

"Well, now I m coming to eat vou."
said the dragon, who gaped wido and :
anted to swallow the man. But he

"Yes, yes," said Revnard : "I see how
it all is," but as ho said this ho took tho
man a littlo to ono side.
"What will you givo mo if I free vou
from tho dragon 1" ho whispered in tho
man s ear.
"You shall bo free to come to mv
house, and to bo lord and master over
my hens and gecBe, every Thursday .
night, said the man.
"Well, my dear dragon.' said Rov.
nard, "this is a very hard nut to crack.
I can't get it into my hoad. how you '
who are so big and mighty a beast,
could find room to lie under von '
stone,
'Can t you 7 ' said the dragon: "woll.
I lay under the hill-side, aud sunned
myself, and dowu came a landslido and
hurled the stone over mo."
"All very likely, I dnro saw" said
Reynard ; "but still I can't understand
it, and, what's moro, I won t believe it
till I see it."
So the man said thev had better
irove it, and the dragon crawled down
into iho hole again ; bnt in tho twink-
ling of an eye thoy whipped out tho
lever nnd down tho stone crashed on
the dragon
"Me now thoro till doouisi lav." mid
the fo.. "You would cat the man,
would you, who saved your life ?"
The dragon moaned and groaned,
and begged hard to come out , but
the two went their way, and left him
alone.
The very first Thursday night Rov
nard como to bo lord and master over
tho henroost, and hid himself behind n
groat pile of wook hard by. When thu
maid went out to feed tho fowls, in
sUilo Reynard. She nt illier Haw nor
heard anything of him i hut her back
was scarce turned before he had suck
ed blood enough for a week, and btuff.
ed himself to that ho couldn't stir So
when bIio como agnin in tho morii'ipr,
there Roynard lay, and snored, and '
slept in the morning bud, with all four
legs su-etehofl straight i nnd ho ' was
as sleek nnd round as a German sail-
sage,
Away ran llio lassie for tho goody,
and she came, nnd nil the Ussies with
hor, with sticks and brooms to beat
Reynard t and, to tell the truth, they
nearly banged the life out of him ; but,
juet ns it was tdiuobt all over with him,
nnd ho thought his lunl hour ym gone,
he found a hole in tho floor, and so ho
crept out and limped mid hobbled off to
the wood,
"Oh, oh," said Reynard, "how truo
it is. Tie tlio way of tho woild ; nnd
this is how it pays its debts,"
