THE LITTLE OLD LADY.
Mrs. Quivorfull was tired; Mrs. Qulv
erfull was not well. Tho girl, after giv
ing her such impudence us you nover
hoard in all your born days, had told her
aim was no lady, and had flounced away
with her handbox in her hand, shaking
her fist on the corner mid nnathRmizlng
tho humble cottage from tho back plat
form of the car ns a plnco not fit for n
decent gurrel to Btoop to live in. Conse
quently Mrs. Qulverfull luvd executed
her own washing, performed her own
cooking, accomplished her own dish
washing and vclocipodod hor own baby to
the accompaniment of what sho described
as 11 raving headache, and was not in tho
humor to greet her lord and master with
tho beaming smile recommended in
"Guides to Young Matrons," and other
excellent works written for the improve
ment or those who are married, princi
pally by thoso who never were.
Indoed, not only did sho fail to smile,
but sho positively frowned when Mr.
Qulverfull jokingly tickled her under
her chin and cried! "Well, wifelot, how
lias the world been going with you to
day?" and answorod:
"Going, indeed!" with a tragic expres
sion and appropriate gesture, aa of cast
ing all earthly things Mr. Qulverfull
included away in despair.
"Girl gone?" nskod that gcntloman, as
suming a serious demeanor and pulling
his feeble red mutton chop whiskers
softly.
Ho was one of tho few who still cling
with tenacity to those curious outgrowths
of tho masculine cheek, and are rather
proud of them.
"Words cannot describe how she went,
or the filth of tho kitchen," said Mrs.
Qulverfull. "I've boon crawling over it
on my liands and knees to scrub it, and
thero U a nest of rata in the dresser
drawer nnd a curtain of spider webs
over tho window, and her three Saratoga
trunks right in tho middle of the entry,
not sent for yet. And sho has left her
hairbrush in the refrigerator nnd her
pot of pomade in tho meat safe."
"Dear, doar, dear!" sighed Mr. Qniver
full. "Now what shall I do for you?
How can I help?"
"Tako thoso children from under my
heels," said his lady, "if you want any
dinner."
"Well," said Mr. Qulverfull, who had
eaten a slico of broad and a cold boiled
egg at noon, and liad had a long journey
from his office to his suburban cottage,
and was desperately hungry, "well wifo
let, just a bito of something when it is
ready."
"Oh, Tve no doubt. Nothing disturbs
a man's appetite," replied wifclet, who
was a head taller than her spouse and
weighed considerably more. "If I were
at death's door you could gobble"
Whereupon she flounced into tho kitch
en, and Mr. Qniverfull, somewhat in
jured as to Ills tenderest feelings, for his
wifelet had never used him thus before,
formed the five small specimens of young
America, who were rolling about tho
floor, together into lino, headed them
with the baby on Ids shoulder and
marched them into tho garden, where- ho
played with them until his wifelet thrust
her head out of tho window and re
marked!
"After all my toil and trouble ho in
tends to let tho meat get cold beforo ho
carves it."
Certainly," said Qulverfull to him
self, "Amelia is upset today."
IJut nil ho did was to marshal Ills host
in doors and help to incase each in abluo
chock eating apron, nnd ho tried to be
cheerful, poor man! and he praised tho
dinner, and ho told a funny story that
Stibbs liad told him, and he helpod to
wipo the dishes afterward: but notlung
soothed his wifelet or restored her to her
usual condition of mind. She had matlc
up her mind that her lot was hard, that
sho had modo a mistako in lntirryiiiK 11
small clerk In n small drug storo, that
fate had afflicted her in bestowing five
boys upon hor and in recently adding a
girl baby. All day she had been envy
ing a maiden lady opposite, who Bat in
her luxurious upartinont fanning herself
and reading. What a happy fate was
hers! Sho nad an lmmonso Income. Sho
boarded, she wore diamonds, sho was
driven out ovory afternoon; she had no
cares una responsibilities.
Later, when she had retired, tho baby
asleep in her nrms, and the five little
Qulverfulls in their cots and cribs in tho
next room, she listened to her husband's
small, peculiar snore, like the purr of a
contented kitten, and scornfully curled
her noso in tho darkness.
"Why couldn't I have waited for a
good match?" she said. "Why must I
marry a red headed little man liko that?
I wish I was Miss Stickleback."
"If yon really wish it, you can be,"
said a little voice at her elbow, nntl open
ing her eyes widely, Mrs. Quivorfull saw
a little old lady perched upon the pin
cushion in her work basket.
Sho waa n very little old lady indeed,
not more than two feet high, and wore a
Watteau dress and powdered hair. Sho
was fanning herself with a fan made of
humming birds' feathers, and she laughed
as airs. Qulverfull prepared to cover L?r
faco with tho sheet.
"You need not be afraid of mo," sho
Bald. "I am your well wisher. You
havu nover bollovod in fairies, I suppose?
Well, now you see ono. I am a fairy. I
heard you bemoaning yourself a little
whilo ago regretting that you wero not
Miss Stickleback, and wishing yourself
rid of j-our little rod haired husband
with a braall salary, your Ave big boys
and your squalling infant. I can't blamo
you, either, a pretty woman liko you.
Yon weren't inado for dish washing anil
dinner getting. Miss Stickleback does
havu a good time, but she wants a hus
band and offspring, so, if you like, I'll
say a few words, wave my hand and
change you. You shall be the wealthy
spinster, tho the overworked married
woman."
"I-don't liko," faltered Mrs. Quiver-
run "I reel"
"Oh, you want to get up and cook
breakfast, I suppose," said the fairy.
weii, tastes airier. I shouldn't."
"Oh, I don't, cither." tdtrhod Mrs.
) Qulverfull ''(VOir-
"You would like n change," said the
fair)',
"Yes," said Mrs. Qulverfull.
Suddenly Yhero was a ringing of bollj
In hor ears no, not qulto like bells,
either; rather tho nmrinurof a swann of
bees. She wa rising floating, flying.
She opened hor eyes upon a room full of
palo, rosy light. The pcrfuirto from a
bunch of jack roses came to her. Ths
quilt that covered hor was of softest silk;
the sleeves of hor nightgown was of rich
lace. Sho recognized tho loVoly loungin
chair in which M)ss Sticklobock lolled
lialf the day. Tho fairy had kept her
promise. She had Income tho free,
liappyrlch' Miss'Stickleback.
Shortly a maid entered tho room anil
whispered that tho bath, was ready il
miss was.
What a dolightful bath! what dolight
ful towols? what a delicious breakfast
afterward? The poet brought Invitation
to lunches, to afternoon teas, to theatre
parties. What a happy life! And here
was tho new novel, and time to read it
In. But as she flirted tho pages n little
voice called, "Good-by, papa," and peep
ing out of her window she saw a littlo
man with red whiskers come out of the
gate of n tiny cottage, followed by fiva
little boys. Ho kissed them all round
and jumped each ono over the fence.
I hen thero wm a pretty woman in a blue .
calico wrapper with a baby in her arms,
and she fixed his cravat for 1dm, and ho
kissed them both. -Then ho-'stopped on
the corner and waved his' hand before he
took tho car.
Oh, It's Jim!" cried tho falso Miss
Stickleback. "Oh, it's Jim! It's my
husband! Oh, oh, oh! Thero aro my
children! That b my babyl That's ine!
No, I mean It Isn't me. I'm somebody
else. Oh, oh, dear! Oh, dear me! Oh!"
"Aro you ill, miss? Can I do anything?"
simperod tho maid, popping In at. this
juncture.
"lou can go away," said the trans
formed Mrs. Qulverfull, snappishly.
The maid vanished.
'.'What shall I do?" moaned Mrs. Qulv
erfull. Instead of a plump brunette she
beheld a slender blondo In a morning
robe.
"Jim never would believe it was me if
I swore It!" she exclaimed, wringing her
hands. "And she would not give him
up, I know. Oh, let her alone, for that!
Oh, miserable wretch that I am!"
"Miserable already?" cried a voice that
she knew, and there on her dressing table
btood the little old fairy. "Haven t you
money? Haven't you fine clothes, a
maid, plenty of friends all that heart
can wish? Aren't you Miss Stickleback,
as you wished to be?"
Did I wish ltr moaned poor Mrs.
Qulverfull. "Oh, what an Idfot I was,
when I had a lovely baby, and darling
children, and such a dear, dear husband
as my Jim. Now I'm all alone in the
world. Change me back."
The old fairy shook her head, and Mrs.
Qulverfull in despair threw herself wild
ly upon the bed.
"Give mo back my husband! Give
me back my children! Glvo mo backiny
baby!" she screamed.
'Here it Is," said somebody.
'Had a nightmare, wifelet? Well, I
nover! Thought some one had stolen
baby? I only took it down stairs so that
you might Bleep a bit. I've made the fire
and the coffee. Feel better'"
Oh, I'm at home," sighed Mrs. Qulv
erfull, clutching tho infant. 'Tve got
you safe I've got them all. What a
liappy woman I ami Come and kiss me,
Jim. Really, have I got you?'
Tve been thinking, Amelia, that per
haps I wasn't much of a husband," said
Qniverfull, relieving his feelings at last.
"That you wero a littlo tired of mo and
of getting along on such a .small salary,
and all. It's not a very lively life"
"Oh, Jim!" said Amelia, "don't say
that. I was cross yesterday, but I
wouldn't be anybody else but me for
anything. Nobody else has such a nice
husband and children, and as for ba
by" "Sho Is a wonder!" said Mr. Qulver
full. "Sho is liko you!"
And from that day to this Mrs. Qulv
erf ull has never envied Miss Stickleback,
and, though, to bo sure, all that about
the fairy was a stupid dream, has never
uttered any rash wishes aloud. Mary

i'roi.l .' torn in Winston county had a
.u.ist exciting encounter with reptiles,
the particulars of which havo just be
co.nit known. It is well known that for
years a snake den has existed in that
county, and travelers havo told of the
remarkable number of hugo snakes to be
"n mi'lT a cert'tin rock. Climb up to
the rock ivbovo the dun. mid seemingly
thousands of tuitkos appear below, writh
ing about as if in agony, entwined about
each other in nn indescribable mass. Ii
a stone is dropped down into this den an
odor arises which, it is stated, almost
ren Jers thobo above unconscious.
A party of prospectors visited this not
ed den and one of them, having heard
the story of tho sickening odor emitted
from those reptiles, concluded to tost It
and dropped a stone. The odor was
mora 6udden than usual and btrongei
than ever known beforo, and tho pros
pector, it appears, being unable to re
pel its effects, became dizzy and fell into
the snake den below. His horrified
companions looked over the precipice
and saw him fall among the snakes and
then supposed that ho was killod. But
whon ho struck the shelf of rock which
was occupied by the snakes ho rolled oil
and fell, Ids body striking the branchee
of n tree, where he lodged. As he fell
from the den it was seen that a snake
was clinging to his arm, anothor around
his body, and still another around hit
leg, but in somo almost miraculous way
these wero nil knocked off by the branch
es of tho tree which he fell into.
His companions ran at once to the bot
tom of the mountain, then went back tc
tho tree, which they climbed, and found
tho unfortunate roan alive, but uncon
scious. They took him to a neighboring
cabin, and it was found that, whilo In
was considerably bruised and had a bro
ken arm from the fall, none of the snake,
had bitten him in any exposed part of
the body, and he was not injured by hit
thrilling experience except, as stated,
from the fall. Alabama Cor, St. Louis

Ins; the Combat.
At tho presont day, when tho Jury
system is receiving so many hard kltoo.ta
from lawyer and layinan alike, it is in
teresting to turn back tho pages of his
tory nnd read of n procedure In Togue
In early English courts, especially
when that procodure has survived to
our own Nineteenth century. Of the
trial by owloal, wagor or law and trial
by battel the three modes of triali then
in general use tho last attracts our at
tention.
Trial by battol "an unchristian as
well as a most uncertain method of 1
trial," as Sir William Blackstone tersely
describes it was Introduced into Eng
land by tho chivalrous, battle ldving
Normans. It was used in only three
cases trials of writs of right, apjieAls of
felony and In the court of cliivalryt In
tho last two tho parties nppeared in per
son, In tho first by champions. For tho
combat a lovel piece of ground was sot
out, sixty feet square, inclosed with lists.
On ono side sat tho justices of the court
of common pleas, attired In their scarlet
robes, with the learned sergeants of the
law near by, to lend dignity to the sbeno.
When tho court sat, which in those early
days was at sunrise (Heaven save the
mark!), proclamation was first made for
tho parties and their champions. Then
the champions, armed with staves an ell
long, and protected with leather armor
and leather targets, with red sandals on
their feet, and bare legs, anns and head,
wore escorted into the lists by' two
knights. Having sworn to the truth of
the cause, and having taken an loath
against sorcery and witchcraft, the
champions then fell upon each other,
bound to fight till the stars came out, oi
till one or tho other was defeated or
forced to cry "craven." If the combat
turned out to be a drawn battle, the de
mandant failed; for tho tenant, having
maintained his around, could retain uos-
session of bis land.
Tho smoothness with which justice
usually took its course is shown by the
account of an important trial by battle
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the last
reported trial of this nature in which the
stake was tho possession of land. At a
certain day and placo the champions
were summoned to appear, "at widen
day and placo," wo read, "a list Was
made in an even and lovel piooo of
ground, set out square, sixty feot on each
side duo east, west, north and south, mid
a place or seat was made for the judges
of the bench without and above the lists,
and covered with the furniture of the
same bench in Westminster hall. And
about tho tenth hour of the day three
justices of tho bench repaired to the
place in their robes of scarlet; and thero,
public proclamation being three times
made with an 'Oyes,' the demandants
first wero solemnly called and did 'not
come; after which tho mainpernors of 'the
champion were called to produce 'the
champion of tho demandants' first, who
came into the place appareled in lied
sandals over armor of leather, bear leg
ged from tho knee downward, and bars
headed and bare arms to the elbow, be
ing brought in by the hand of a knight
who carried a red baton of an ell long,
tipped with horn, and a yeoman carry
ing a target made of double leather."
The two champions were then led nronnd
the lists to tho place where tho justices
sat, and all was ready for the fray. Tho
demandants, however, did not appear,
and tho How of blood was prevented.
The cause went against them by default,
nnd final judgment wa3 given for the
tenant. The report concludes: "And
then solemn proclamation was made that
tho champions and all othors tliore pres
ent (who wero by estimation nbove four
thousand) should depart, every man in
the peace of God and of the queen. And
tlds they did, nil crying with ono accord,
'Long live the queen!" a conclusion
lis remarkable in one extreme as tho con
clusion of tho earlier trial had been in the
other extreme.
Trials by battel in appeals of felony
were very similar to thoso upon writs of
right, except that in tho former tho oaths
taken by the parties wero more Bolemn
nnd tho fight more bitter, as defeat to
tho defendant or appellee meant death
by hanging.
Although tho trial seems to havo fallen
into "innocuous desuetudo" early In tho
beveutcenth century, it was nover abol
ibhed by statute. So, in 1818, in the
reign of Georgo IU, we find a defendant
taking advantage of the existence of the
old law, In that case, Asliford vs. Thorn
ton, 1 B. and Aid. -105, an appeal of fel
ony, tho appelloo, wo rend, "pleaded as
follows: 'Not guilty, and-1 am ready to
defend tho samo by my body.' And
thereupou taking his glovo off, he throw
it upon the floor of tho court." Lord
Ellenborough, tho chief justice, deliver
ed his opinion as follows: "Tho general
law of tho land is In favor of the wage!
of battel, and it is our duty to pronounce
tho law as it is and not as wo may witdi
it to bo. Whatover prejudices thorefore
may justly exist against this mode ot
trial, still, as it is the law of the laud,
tho court must pronounce Judgment foi
it." The couusol for tho appellant, aftci
this opinion, stated that he prayed for no
furthor judgment, and tho prosecution
was stopped.
Hero was an excellent opportunity foi
n revival of the old iiractice: but narlin.
ment, fearing a rapid extension of the
old method of trial by battel, stepped in
anu auousneu it xorever.
It is said that oulte recently In Penn
sylvania a ruling waa given In favor of
tho plaintiff, sustaining some obsolete
technicality. Thereupon tho defendant,
being a firm believer In consistency,
claimed tliat if mediaeval practices were
to bo enforced at all thoy should be
enforced in toto, nnd accordingly he
demanded trial lby battel. As the de
fendant was a dlminntivo Dutch tailor,
the point was not pressed, however, and
tho Pennsylvania court was relioved from
what might have been a painful predica
ment, i ne ureen nag.

SOME OLD FASHIONED 8TOCK8.

It was not till 1700 or 1797 that a
church was erected in Uarjxirsfleld. It
was built from contributions modo by
the inhabitants, each one famishing ma
terial of some kind, euchnshown timber.
i boards, shingles, eto., being so vory poor
' at tho time that fow could famish any
money, ilio same year a Dlaco was built
called stocks, and a whipping post pre
pared by Isaac, Hcrco for tho purpose of
Inflicting punishment on any who had
been charged with crimo and founrj
guilty 01 mo samo Dy a jury. Agoou
deal of curioBltv was exhlbltod, rpc-
chilly among the fair sex, to get a
glimpse of tho ordeal, and after they
were completed Aloxanfler Harper, Who
was fond of an Innocent joke, Invited
hli wife to accompany 1dm and examina
tho stocks, which were so arranged that
by placing tho criminal's foot in and
' making it fast he could not escape. IU
therefore requested his wife to put be:
foot in, telling her that "that fool ot a
Pierce had made them, and they would
not hold any one."
i Hho put In her foot nnd he let down tht
block, locked the samo fast and walked
off amid the hearty laugh of the specta
tors and her own earnest entreaties, but
soon returned and roleased her. It was,
however, regarded as a rich joko foi
many years afterward. But one person
was over whipped at the poet, and h
soon left the county. It may be remark
ed in this plaoe that throe whipping
posts were erected In Delaware county
at about the samo period the ono al-
, ready mentioned, In Harpersfield, one on
J the place now owned by ex-Sheriff
Thomas, but then In possession of Silas
Knapp, who kept a grocery there for
several years, nnd the other near Cot
Dimmick's in Mlddletown.
There was but one person whipped, aa
I have been able to learn, at either of tht
last named whipping posts. This person
wns one Turner, a carpenter by trado.
The charge which was brought against
him, and whieh ho finally confewed, was
stealing some fifty pounds of flour be
longing to Kzra Halt, from Squire Hose a
mill. After sentence was passed he was
fastened in the stocks, which were con
structed of heavy plank, hollowed out
nbove and below sufficiently to contain a
man's legs when the planks wero shut
together. They were secured by a lock.
He was left in the stocks for a day, fur
nishing a good mark for the boys, who
showered him with rotten eggs. Hie
next day ho was takon out and fastened
to the whipping post, when tho remainder
of his sentence, fifty lashes, was infliotod,
when he was allowed to leave the county,
which ho was not long in doing. Jay

A Veteran Now a Tramp.
Tho queerest pair of tramps that Phil
adelphia people ever looked upon stood
at tho comer of Ninth and Walnut streets
and begged alms from the passing throng.
uotu men supported themselves on
crutches. One had only a stump of a
leg, and the other mendicant's right limb
was minus tho foot and anklo. Their
clothes were desperately shabby, and
thoy seemed so utterly woo begone that
tho Italian bootblack offered them a
dime, which was promptly accepted.
Little else money came their way until
the closing of the matinee at the Walnut
street theatro.
Presently thero camo along a tall and
well dressed man, who put a silver quar
ter into the palm of the one whose leg
was closely shorn off. He had hardly
mado the gift before he wheeled around
nnd looked tho recipient of it squarely
in tho faco. "I ought to know you, my
man," ho said.
And I know you, colonel," was the
answer.
Wero you not wounded at the battle
of Charles City Cross Roads?"
I was shot there, but I fought it
through and got my serious wound un
der your command on the morning that
Gen. Lee surrendered.
"Today Is the anniversary of tho sur
render," said the colonel. He plunged
his hand into his pocket and drew out a
pile of Bilver and somo paper money.
Selecting from the lot a $3 note, he
pressed It Into the hand of the veteran,
who had turned mendicant, and wended
Ids way up Walnut street. Philadel

"You Never Vlstled."
A gentleman who lives out nt Edge-
water wns starting for town the other
morning nnd ho had occasion to cross tho
railroad track on his way to the station.
Jogging along before him on the road
was a peripatetic peddler, who was evi
dently n Hebrew. Tho latter had a bony
horso, which ambled along In some way,
and the wagon In which the peddler sat
was a very rickety affair. Tho Edgewa-
ter man heard the whistle of a train as
the wagon neared the track, and he knew
that the morning express waa due, but
the Hebrew jogged on and apparently
did not hear the train. As his rig struck
the track the engine of the express
dashed by and caught tho rear wheels.
There was a cry and a crash. The Edgo-
water man rushed toward the crossing
just as tho bewildered peddler pulled
tumseir away from tho wreck or his stock
in trade. Straightening himself up and
gazing nftor the fast receding train, ho
shook his finger at the rear coach and
6aid, reproachfully! "You never vistledl"

Speaking of symmetry in the building
af citlos, tho pooplo of Berlin, Germany,
aro quite logical and successful In their
methods. In that city uniformity in
building is preserved by a municipal law
that dictates tho height of edifices ac
cruing to the width of the street. For
Instance, on a street sixty feet wide tho
taw provides, I think, that houses over
(our stories In height shall not bo erected
thereon. On streets eighty feet wide the
height is six stories, and on other streets
in proportion, thus giving tall houses to
wido streets and less altitudinous build
lugs to narrow streets. I may not havo
mentioned the exact dimensions of
streets and houses, but that is tho gen
eral plan of the system. By this means
n-cat and, I think, attractivo uniformity
ts secured.
Again in Berlin tho people cannot build
residences or business houses anywhere
thoy pleaso. Tho city has been built up
loudly and compactly simply because the
law compelled buildings to be erected
adjoining each other either on the south,
north, east or west extensions. A can
not build a tall minaret on some isolated
lot away from B, but he must, in order
to build at all, secure tho land adjoining
tho last houie built, in either direction,
mil when C comes to build ho must fol
low suit. These two provisions of tho
Berlin municipality law tend to make it
tho most uniform city in the world, II.

Tlio Gamelltt.
Thero is a kind of tin mug called tho
iramello, in which tho French soldier re
ceives his rations, and wliich he carries
on his knapsack. Tho form is a littlo
peculiar, so as to distinguish it from
other ordinary tin mugs. A simple im
plement which, carried on the backs of
French soldiers, has marched so often to
victory, nnd of late to defeat, has at last
received its reward in its glorification.
When the young Duko of Orleans came
before the court, and exclaimed: "I ask
for nothing but a gamelle," meaning
nothing but tho treatment of n common
soldier, the publio readily fceized upon
tlio emblem.
Scarcoly three days had elapsed before a
great joweler of the Ituo do la Palx had
hundreds tof "tin mugs" in silver, gold
and jowels as pins nnd badges, which
sold immediately as the "tin rang of Or
leans," and wero worn all ovor Paris. A
popular florist designed a vaso in tho
shnjMi of the "tin mug," and presented
the first sjiecimen to tho prince, who
sent it to his brido, Margaret do Cliartres,
filled with roses and lilies of the valley.
In tho meanwhile all Paris is sporting
tho Boldier's tin mug in tho trl-color, and
tho young duko lms left a fashionable co
luuneut to remember him byrf """""flf
