" I'll K PCSSY VI; JlEAST TO oru."
There's a fnnny tale of a stingy man,
Wlio was none too good, but uiight bare
len wortc,
Wlio went to church on a Sunday night,
Ami carried along bis well tilled purse,
Wheu tbe sextou came with bis begglng-
piate,
The church was but dim with the candle's
light;
The stingy man fumbled all through his
purte,
And chose a coin by touch and not by sight.
It's an odd thing now that guineas should be
So like unto pennies in shape and size.
"I'll give a penuy," th Mingy man said ;
"The poor must not gifts of pennies des
pise." The penny fell down wjth a clatter and
ring !
Anil hack in his seat the stingy man ran;
"The world is so full of the poor," be thought,
"I can't help them all IJgive what;ican."
Ha, ha ! how the sexton smiled, to be sure,
To sue the golden guinea fall in the plate !
11a, ha! how the stingy mau's heart was
W I'll n x
Perceiving his blunder, but just too late 1
'"No matter," he said, "in tho T-ord'a ac
count That guinea of gold is set down to me.
They lend to Hitu who give to tho poor ;
It will uut .-.o bad au in veatmeut be."
".Na, na, mon," the chuckling sexton cried
out ;
"The Lord is na cheated He kens thee
well :
He knew it was only by accident
That out o' thy fingers tho guinea fell !
"lie keeps an account, na doubt, for the
puir;
But in that account He'll set down tc thee
JJa mair o that, gol.lan guinea, my mon,
Thau the one bare iwnny ye meant to gi'e."
There's a comfort, too, in the little tale
A nerious side as well as joke ;
A comfort for all the gcnioiis poor,
In the. comical words the sexton spoke.
A comfort to tlunk that the good Lord knows
How generous we really desire to be,
And will ;iive us credit in his account
I'or all the pennies we long "to gi'."

DILL K'ALKKK'S WIVE.
Some one knocked at the door. It was j
a wild night the snow falling drearily
around, tho air dying away and then com
ing in swift twirls down the chimney, bring
ing with it a biiulen of snow which hissed
as it touched the roaring fire. Quietness
within. A comely matron was sitting alono
by the hearth, mending a child's .frock,
The thice pair of little idiocs lying to dry
before the llame told that the quietness was
j only a temporary peace to bo broken after
the little active brains were recuperated by
sleep. Sitting there alone, the woman
heard the knock at the door. Hurriedly
rising, she unlocked and opened it. A
man's voice s lid :
"Do Bill Walker's wiTe live here?"
"Yes," she answered. "I am she. What
do you want wiih me?"'
"Lass, may I come in? I've news from
Bill."
"From BUI ! Come in, sailor, for the
love of heaven, aud tell tuc what you
know !"
Out of I he wiuti y darkness into the light
and heat of the pungout wixd-fire stepped
a big brawny fellow, dressed in the rough
gaib of a common sailor, lie shook (he
snow from him, and looked down into the
little woman's face in close iiitiuiiy. She
returned the look with a start'td explosion,
as of one Luv.ildt.rcd ; and then a new look
came into her face as of comprehension.-
'Sit by the lire," she said to him. "You
must be chilled."
"I am that, Bill Walker's wife. Are ye
all alone?"
"No," she said, pointing to the three
pair of little shoes.
Tho man looked at them and drew his
hand roughly across his eyes.
"Now, sailor," said she, "what's your
news?"
"Bill Walkei'a wife, I can't tell ye much
just now. You must bear with me. I'm
hut a rough sailor, and I don't know how
to commence my yarn."
"Oh, it's a yam is it? Well, waitYillI
put some wood on the fire then com
mence." She suited the action to the
word, sat down on a low stool in the red
i light from the hissing fne, and took np her
work. "Now," she said, "I am ready."
The man seemed a little confused.
"Ain't ye a little nervous?" he asked.
"I've got over that. I was a little afraid
before you came. Now I'm steady like."
"Bill Walker's wife, I've that to tell ye
which 'ill not make ye easy in yer mind.
Bill's been gone three years. When did
ye hear from him last ?"
"Five months ago he was sailing by Mad
agascar, and hadn't time to write much."
"Lass 1" said the man, solemnly, "ye'll
not hear from Bill in a hurry again !"
I expect not. There ain't much use of
his writin' seeing I never can answer his
letters, as I don't know if they'd find him."
"Lass I he'll never write to you any
more."
"That's a pity for Bill, for be likes me, I
know."
The man looked at her in astonishment.
"Bill Walker's wife, I'll commence my
yarn."
"Sailor, I'm waiting,"-
"Ye know five months ago Bill sailed j
around Madagascar. I was along wi' Bill,
lliru and me was fast chums. YYhatsom
ever he done, that done I. ; Wheresomever
he' went, there went I. When he write
ye, I saw that ere letter. Wheu he thought
of ye, I knew that ere thought. : But there's
storms at sea, lass. There's storms at sea
that make ye think of home, and all that's j
near and dear, while Leaven seems to be j
a-fightin' wi' the sea, which uprises to
buffet it with mad waves. There s stor nis j
as make even a sailor's heart quiet, while '
his lipscussandcuss at the work he's trying
to do. Who knew nlore about storms than
Bill and me ? We followed the sea for
nigh twenty year, and never separated. I
can't tell ye all, for ye'll feel bad."
i "Xo, I won't sailor, I like to hear you
talk. It sounds lite old times."
! "Old times lass?"
"Yes ; when Bill used to sit there and
tell his awful yarns, and try to niakc mo
swallow them. You see, I never believe
all I hear."
I ''You don't think I'm deceiving: ye, do
ye?"
"Of course not, sailor. I don't think
anything like that. And so you mustn't
have that in your noddle. Go on, now."
"Well, there comes the storm one day.
The skipper came to us, and saya, says he,
'Lads, it's all up wi' us, unless wo get out
in ten minutes.' 'But,' says Bill, 'where'll
j we go?' 'Anywhere ye can,' says the skip
J per, says I.e. Ye sec I can't talk like a
book, and I jest tell yo this as it were.
The ship had sprung a leak. In fact the
whole side were stove in on a rock, and the
pumps was no use ; and we was ging
: down, and oh ! Bill Walker's wife ! yer
husband wouldn't fors.ike that ere ship."
i "That's right in him," she said, "I would
: not have a man who would forsake his
i work when it got troublesome."
j "Well but, lass, Bill was aboard till the
i very last. lie wouldn't go. lie got all
; the others off, and there he stayed, looking
out toward home and thinking of yo and
the babies."
"Good for Bill !" she said, her pleasant
eyes sparkling with tears.
"But, why don't ye get excited? Didn't
ye care for Bill? Why don't ye get ex
cited?" "Oh, I'll get all that after awhilo."
"But didn't ye care for Bid?"
"Now look here,-sailor ! You knew Bill,
you say, so well, and you don't know that?
Didn't Bill ever know of the many weary
times when I sat here all alone in the night
when the snow was falling and the wind
screaming, and the little ones tucked up in
bed? Didn't Bill ever know that at such
times n;y heart left these pretty things,
and went far over the cruel sea hunting for
him? Didn't he know how I clung to
every hope to every dream of him to
every prayer for his good that I learned
over and over again ? And how I used to
go to the little children's crib, when the
wind grew stronger, and stronger, and the
storm grew wild and awful, and how I
have waked them up from their happy
sleep, crying : 'Babies! akc with mammy
and pray for daddy, on the wild, wild
sea?' And how I have iixed their little
hands together, and we four knelt down,
and, though they only knew the one prayer,
'Our Father!' jet they 'said it after me,
and I knew that God understood that they
were praying for their p or, storm-tossed
daddy far out at sea, and that He would
li.-ten and have pity ? Didn't Bill ever know
how I continued days, then weeks, theu
months, and thru years, longing for him,
waiting for him always true to him. in
word and thought? And how I loved all
sailors, and pitied the lonely men who
camo to port here without a friend in the
world buV me? For I've gone to them,
and I've said : 'Ho, lads ! I'm Bill Walker's
wife, and him a sailing far away. Let me
help you if I can. And if you're sick or
lonesome, come to me. And how often
this little room has been filled w ilh seafa
ring men, who came for comfort and the
little kindnesses I could do for them? And
how they kissed the childreu-for they said
they w ere a sailor's babies, and they loved
them for the sake of their own little oues
many miles off ? And how often I've got
tears from these men, and blessings, till
I've gone down to the wharf, and taken the
children with me, and we've stood aud
seen them off", and I've made the little ones
wave their hands to the men, and the men
have called : 'Three cheers for Bill Walk
er's wife !' and 'dod take care of her and
the babies V I've done all this for love of
Bill! And don't you think he'd like to
know It?" And she wiped her eyes on the
little frock she was mending.
! The man looked at her, was silent for a
moment, and then went on :
; "Yes, he knew it, lass, lie thought it
i for a truth. Aud now comes the awful
part of my yarn 1"
j "Yes, sailor." -j
"Well now don't cry out, and don't
flop down Bill will uevev come home
aain !"
She never said a word, but smiled np in
to his face. ,
"Why won't he come home again?"
"Because he's drowned," be replied.
"I dou't believe it, sailor!"
"But I was with him all, all o' the
time."
"Then why wasn't yon drowned, too?
If you were so much with him why wasn't
yon drowned ?"
"Because I was washed ashore. But
pooi Bill, he's gone J"
"Well, if that's so, I might as well make
up my mind to be a widow.'
"Why dou't you get excited, widder?"
asked the man, aghast.
"I'll got all that after awhile."
"But Bill's drowned !"
"I cau't help that; so there ! Xow saiL
or, I can't live here all alone, so I must
get mariied !"
"Mari'icd ? Why, woman, yer husband j
ain't cold yet !''
"I can't wait till I'm cold because he
ain't."
"But don't ye love him."
"It would bo wroog to love a dead man,
and still marry a live one."
"Who will have ye for a wife, seeing ye
didn't care for Bill?"
"F?u will, sailor ! I know you will."
"Bill Walker's widder I won't! I tho't
too much of him for to like the woman as
'ill slight his mem'ry,"
"Sailor, you shall have me !"
"I'll leave this house now."
"Sailor, I'll lock the door. You shan't
leave this room till you say you'll have mo
for you l lawful wife."
"That I'll never do! And woman! ye' re
a bad lot, that's what ye are a bad, cus
sed, ungodly creature ; an' I pity poor Bill
from the bottom o' my heart that I do.
An' don't believe as these babies ever
thought o' him more than ye did."
"Of course they didn't, sailor of course
they didu't."
"Whose babies are they? Who's their
father ?"
"Fow are, sailor!''''
And then he felt a woman's arms thrown
around his neck, and her kisses and tears
pressing on his face, and he heard a wo- '
man's voice crying : j
"Babies ! children ! wake up and come j
to mammy, for daddy's home daddy's
home ! Aud he tried to make mammy be-
lieve he was sotnc one the. Oh, Bill!;
oh, Bill ! I knew jou all the time, and I ;
could hardly keep from kissing you while
you told the yarn !" I
And the children came running in, stock
inkless and in their night-gowns, and were
caught, together with their mother, to Bill
Walker's breast, and That's all!
s uxd a r it i:a d at;.
The whole family climbed out of tbe
wagon and went into tbe Atlanta book
store. They were father, mother aud six
teen year-old daughter.
"Mister, we want tcr sorter git somethiu'
good lo read on a Sundays, which is pow
erful lonesome in the country."
"Shall be glad to serve you, sir. What
will tho ladies like?"
"What d'ye want, Sofy?"
"I'd clnse somcthin' 'bout the new fash
ions, pa !" j
"Of koarsc, I mcught a know'd thct!
Kin you fix her out ?"
"Oil, yes," replied the store keeper ; "we
have here Godi'y, Leslie, Harper's Bazar,
Peterson's, Dcuiorc&t ' s and numerous other
magazines."
1 "Gody? W'y you don't tell me he's live
an' figurin' out fashions yet, do ye?" cried
the old man. :
"Oh, yes?" was tho reply.
"Well, centennial snakes and cross-barred
breeches!" W'y, oVT'ooman, don't ye
mind je thct we bed our wedden' close
fixed up al ter his plan ? God 3- ! Ofkoais,
Sofy, ye'll take Gody, and I'll bet the bob
tailed mule au' the black shoat that what
ho sez is the fashion can't be discounted."
"What will your wife like?" asked the
merchant, as the old man paid for the mag
azine. "Somethiu' that's got good church read
in' in it some religious pa per, Jo f ye please,"
replied the old lady.
"Here is the best we have the Christian
at Work."
"Hold up, thar ! Is thct got any of thct
Beechcr an'. Tilting bizness in it?"
"None o' yer bizness, anyhow ! S'posc
there is?" lired up the old lady.
"'Taint, hey!" 1 . -
"No, 'taint ! So's it's church veadiu' it
don t bother you, sir ; so dry up 1"
"Well, mebbe that's so ; an' what I read
don't bother you, too? All right, mister ;
jist band me out half a dozen 'lustra fed
papers full of pictures of legs with striped
stockiu's on an' lifty-dollar gaiters, and

The old lady chucked the Christian at
Work under the table, grabbed tbe old man
by the car, and if he had worn striped

. John Randolph of Roanoke employed
an excellent man named Clopton lo preach
to his negroes in a chapel on his plantation.
One cold Sunday, while Clopton was giving
out his hymn, two lines at ajtimey ho ob
served a negro put his foot with a new
brogan 011 the red hot stovo. Turning to
him he said in measured voice, "You ras
cal you, you'll burn your shoe." As this
rhyme was in exact metre of tbe hyrr.u,
tbe negroes chimed in and sang it. The
preacher smiled and mildly explained, "My
colored friends, indeed you're wrong ; I
didn't intend that for the song." This be
ing also in good measure, the negroes sang
it with pious fervor. Turning quickly to
his congregation, he said sharply, "1 hope
you will not sing again nntil I have time
to explain ;" but this only aroused them to
repeat his last woids with increased vigor.
Mr. Clopton, finding his tongue was tuued
to rhyme, then abandoned explanation and
went ou wi'h the other services.

A gentleman, followed by a servant in
livery, rode into au inn in the west of Bng
land one eveuiug, a little after dusk. He
told the landlord that he should be detained
in that pait of the country for a few days,
and wished to know if there were any

01 Hearing trials, tlie host informed him
that a very interesting robbeiy trial was to
n J
come on the next day that tho evidence
was very strong against the prisoner, and
the people's opinion was greatly divided,
as the man insisted that he was in another
part of the kingdom when the robbery was
committed. j
The gentleman expressed considerable
anxiety to witness the trial. Accordingly
the next morning the host procured him a
good location through his iniluence with
the court officers. i
While the evidence proceeded against
him, the prisoner's eyes remained fixed on
tlie ground ; but on being called upon for
his defence he looked up, and seeing tho
stranger, fainted away. At first this was
supposed to be a trick to gaiu time, but bo- ;
ing questioned ou his recovery, he asserted
that that gentleman could save his life if ,
he might put a few questions to him. '
The eyes of the w hole court were now
turned upon the stranger, who seemed
somewhat embarrassed, but stated that :
i
although he could not remember the pi ison
cr he was willing to answer any questions
that might be proposed. The court granted
the prisoner's request, and he ak:d the
stranger if he remembered being at Dover
on a certain date. To which the gentle-
man answered that he had landed at Dover
1 1 e '1 . 11 . 1
shortly before, but. could not positively
affirm that he was there that exact day.
"Dou't you remember that a man in a
blue jacket and trowsci scai t ied your trunk
to tn inn 0, ol.-ed tli i.ii:oiici . I
"I remember that a man did carry my
1 trunk, but I do not remember bis dress."
I "But," asked the prisoner, anxiously,
j "dou't you remember that the man who
carried your trunk told you a story about
his being in the service, that he thought
himself an ill-used man, and that he showed
you a scar he had ou one side of his fore
head ?"
1 During the last part of the speech the
' stranger's face changed, and he said that
he did remember the scar. The piisoncr
pushed aside his hair, displaying a scar 011
his forehead, and the witness affirmed pos
itively with great emotion that he was the
1 very man, 'm
A buzz of satisfaction ran through the
j court, for the day on which tho witness
j had met the prisoner at Dover was tho
j very day of the robbery. '
j . The stranger, however, could not be
certain of the time, but stilted that he
sometimes made memorandum of dates in
his pocket-book, and turning to that found
that the date of his landing corresponded
with the prisoner's assertion. . This beiiig
, the only circumstance necessary to proe
! an alibi, the prisoner was immediately ac
i quitted amid great applause aud oongratu
j la t ions. :
j The above trial occurred in 1S.T2, and
within less than. a month the gcutlemanly
j witness who came to the inn attended by
! a servant in livery, tbe servant who fol
lowed him, and the prisoner, were all three
i brought back to tho same jail for robbing
: the mail. It turned out that the clever
j defeuse at the last trial was a skillfully ar
i ranged plot of the confederates to release
! their accomplice.

It was one of ('orwin's campaign yeai
vr.ij ifck in w.c uiuws, or may Ihj the for-
tics, ai d he had been making the circuit
ot me Mtaie in M-nait ot tlie Whig ticket,
lie had gone through tho soutlrfMn si:d
middle counties, and had been aligned to
the licsci vu to wake up tli Yankees as
he said, and so had lighted down at Paincs
ville. The inectiug was a iiioniiii' one
after the old fashion, and the farmers from
all around the country had come to town
to hear "the great Jlr. Corwinc," as they
called him, make a speech. Wheu the or
ganization had been frcctcd and the speak
er introduced, lie felt that he must do
something worthy of his leputation as "the
great Mr. C orn inc." He laid down his
stock of facts and figures in systematic or
der, building from them an argument that
he thought irresistible, wmking ul it pa
tiently until he '.bought the structure com
plete ; but upon looking -into the faces of
hisauditois was unable to oalch a single
lespoii.sive look. There they sat, bolt up-
lightbefoie bii.i, dignified and quiet so
silent, indeed, that Tom could hear the .
ticking of the old clock at the far end of"
the room. Tlieie wasn't a lipple of ap
plause though, nor a sunle uor a clan of a
hand.
This discouraged Corwin a little, but ho
thought ho could wake them up with soruo
of his oratory. So he;sailed in with some
of his impassion! d flights of ihctoric, and
no orator that America has produced had k
moic glowing fancy or could utter more el
oquent things than be. Still them was nc
response. There his audience still sat up
right, unmoved as so many gate posts.
Then he concluded he would try the viitue
of his funny stories, and told a string ot
them as only Tom Corw in could tell a story .
Selecting a particularly dignified old fell
, low in fivnt of him, he directed his budget
of side-splitting yarns at him. but ne'er a
smile broke from his lips or those of anv
one present. Then ho went to making
faces at them, the funniest faces that ever
a man made, faces such as only Tom Cor
win could make. Still not a smik-. not a

sat down.
Then the Chairman with duo solemnity
assumed a ix-rpeiidieular to put the ques

aflirmative. 'Those of a contrary mind
will say no." There were none. ""The mo
tion is adopted." Theu ho sat down, and
silence again reigned.
Presently a little, dried up, weazen-faced
old man in the Lack part of the hall got
up, and iu a cracked voice called out, "Mr.
Chairman, hooray for Mr. Cor wi tie !" And
he took bis seat.
And then the dignified parly in tbe mid
dle of the audience, at whom the jokeb Lad
been directed, rose in his scat, cleared out
his throat, and, in dignified tones, said :
"Mr, Chairman, hooray for the great Mr."
