OWK .MAX A UOI.I.AIt.
Ob, in n.it envy, my own .Tear wife.
The wealth of our next-door neighbor,
Rnt, bid me still !m stout f heart.,
Anil cheerfully follow mr labor.
You must know, tlie last of those liule .lebts
That liave la'en a lingeiinii sorrow,
Is paiil this night ! So we'll both go forth
Willi happier hearts to-morrow.
Oil, Hie debtor is lint a sliame-fa. ed .lop,
With the creditor's name on his collar ;
While I am a king ami yon are a queen,
For we owe no man a dollar I
Ourneighlior you saw in his coatdi to-day,
vVith his wife and his flaiititim; daughter.
While we sat down at our coverless hoard
To a crust and a cup of water
I saw that, the tear-drop stood in your eve,
Though yon tried your liest to cor.ceal it
I knew that the contrast reached vour heart,
Ami y.ui could not help but feci it.
Rut knowing that now that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
You'll join my laugh and help me shout
That we owe no man a dollar !
This neighbor whose show has dazzled yovtr
eyes
In fact is a wretched debtor;
I pity hi'n oft from my very heart,
And I wish that his lor were betier.
Why Ihe man is the veriest, slave alive.
For his dashing wile and daughter
Will live in sty le, t hough ruin should come
So he goes like a lamb to Ihe slaughter,
Rnt he feels it the lighter every day
That terrible debtor's collar !
Oil. what would he gi ve, 'mild hesav wiih ns,
That Le owed no man a dollar !
Yon seem amazed, but I'll tell you more :
Within two hours I met. him,
Sneaking away with a frightened air,
As if a rietid had beset him.
Yet he tied from a very worthy man.
Whom I met with the greatest pleasnre
Whom I called by name and forced to stop,
Though he said he was not at le:sure.
He held my l'st mite, so I held him f.ist
Till l:e freed my ne.-k from the collar ;
Then I shook his hand, as I proudly said t
"Now, I owe no man a dollar."
And now you smile, for yon feel Ihe force
Oft lie truth I have been repeating;
I knew th it a downright honest ln.irt
In that gentle breast was beating !
To-nioi row I'll rise with a giant's strength
To follow my daily laltor ;
Ruf ere we sleep let ns humbly pray
For our wretched next-door neighbor;
And we'll pray for the lime when all shall
1 1.1 free
From the weight of Ihe debtor's collar
When the poorest shall lift lip his voice and
cry,
"Now, I owe no man a dollar !"
ELtZA O-i rJ.S SAD STORY.

but twenty live years old. He had for a
year been suing for the hand of El'za Gates,

She, however, while respect ins! tlie young
millet highly, declined to accept his odd
of marriage, and it was und.isto.Kl that
hei fceliniis ;owaids young Mills were tlie
cause of lite refusal. " Her father, howevel,
brought, his authority toliear in the matter,
and In September. 1SG7, Tiner and Miss
(Sates were married.
About the 1st of Oc ober of the same
year the young wife, having returned with
her 'husband from an extended bridal tour
some days before, started, ws she said, to
visit a sick schoolmate nt Kmmettsbui g,
expecting to be absent two or three days.
She took Willi her merely a band-satchel,
containing a change of clothes. Mr.
(Sates's clerk was in the habit of opening
the stoi-e about (5.30 in tlie morning, the
proprietor himself putting iti an appearance
at 8 The mm ninr after Mis. TineMiad
star ed for Emm ttsburg ld Mr. (Jatcs
went to bis fit 01 e at Ihe usual hour only to
liud the shutters still up and a crowd r

door. George Mills, the clerk, had not
been at his hoaiding-houe since the even
ing befoie, ami iu.piiry elicited the fact
thai be bad driven out of the village about
10 o'clock on that evening.
The suspicion of both rather and husband
proved to be correct. Mills and Mrs. Tiner
were traced as far as Whcclit g. nnd from
the.e the strictest search revealed itotliiiu
fit it her as to their whereabouts. There
was great excitement over the tiffair in the
n ........ nitv where it occurred, owing to t he
staiidiusi or tlie patties. The runaway wife
was the handsomest and richest woman in
the village and always reg Aided asthe most
retiring and circumspect. Hei husband,
bein" jrt.pular and a favorite, had the hear

Mr. Gales was openly blamed asthe alnro-d

fie provision that Tiner must for t o years
after ibe death of the 'rstator make an ef

interest on 10,0)0, a- 7 pei cent., which
amount was to be paid hi instalments of slO

came. If, at the end .f the year, she did
not, wiihout any bint or solicitation on the
part of the execu'.ors of the estate, who
wore Myron Pool, a cousin of the deceased,
and Amzi S. Tiner, icturu to her native
plice, repentant and willing to make all
amends in her power for her sin, then all

a home as the execn ors iu their judgment
thought oper ami Gt for her, aud foi her
support the sum of $10 a week was to be
paid as long as she lived.
The deserted hnsiiand searched faithful
ly for his wife until 1872, but he could find
trace neither of her nor of Mills. He be
lieved that if she was living she had left
the country. In 1872 he was granted a di
vorce fiom heron the ground of desertion,
and s. Kiu afterwards married again. His
second wife died iu 1873, leaving two chil
dren. On the 23d of July last Myron Poo!, one
of the execntois of old Mr. Gates's estate,
was handed by the village jKistmaster a
letter addressed to "Mr. Uri Gates," and
postmarked Litchfield, Minn. The letter
was opened by Mr. Pool, and the following
is a copy of what he read :
'Litchfield, Minn., .inly 18, 187".
"Fathkk: I am alone heie, sick and
wretched with remorse. I know you would
pity iitid forgive me if you know what I
have suffered. I have been w icked enough
hut not as wicked as I know you think I
am. Let. me come home, if only to be a ser
vant. My punishment for my recklessness
has tieen great, and it will be a comfort to
me to hear from yon, even if it is to repulse
me. I have been struggling a long time for
courage enough to go home and ask your
forgiveness and that of others I have wrong
ed. Let me hear from yon, father. I will
await a letter with almost tiuliearahle anxie
ty. Your wretched .laughter,
"Kl.tZA."
Executor P.hiI banded the letter over to
Mr. Tiner at once. A consultation was
held between tlTem and it was decided that
both should go to Minnesota aud learn the
condition of the long missing wife, now
heard of for the fust time in nearly ten
years. They reached Litchfield the last of
.Inly. Mr. Pool 'undertook ihe search for
Eliza and found her working as a seamstress
in a private family under her maiden name.
She recognized Mr. Pool on his entrance to
the room where she was at woik and rose
to greet him, but fell fainting to the ll;or
b fore she had spoken a word. When she
was restoied to consciousness he told her
of her f sther's death, but mentioned noth
ing about the will. She was greatly griev
ed that her father had died believing her
unrepentant and a greater sinner than she
really was. Af'er she became calm again
Mr. P Mil told her that Mr. Tiner was in the
place and that any communication she de
sired to make 'O him could be made through
him (Pool). She replied to this that after
her sufferings .luring the ten years itast,
although she ktiew she bad brought dis
grace tion his name, that she could meet
Mr. Tiner herselfand that she should, but
only to licg his pity and forgiveness. I5e
fore meeting him. however, she said she
should tell the story of her life since she
left home, so he might judge whether she
was the abandoned wretch it was natural
foi him to believe her to be. Her slory as
told to Mr. Pi Mil to carry to Mr. Tiner, and
as subsequently told iu my heating, was as
follows :
"My elopement was arratifff-d between
Mills an;! myself the day befoie I went
away. I was to go to Indiana, procure a
divorce from my husband as soon as possi
ble, and then be joined by Mills and mar
lied to him. We went together as far as
Wheeling, and when we reached that place
he wanted me to give up the idea of going
to Indiana and accompany him toSt. Louis.
This I refused to do, and we separa'ed to
meet when I nits divorced. He went to
St. Louis, and I went Ii st to Indianapolis
and then to Lay fayel tc, Ind. I put my
case into the bauds of a lawyer mimed
Row.Iitch, and he gave me a decree of di
vorce in two months, charging me $100.
Mills had given me $2')d and I had iftoO "f
my own.
'It was soine weeks afler I got the di
voice before I heard fmin Mills. Then I
received a letter fiom htm from Central
City, (ad. I joined him there aud we were
married by an Episcopal minister named
Whitehead.
"We icmaineilin Centra1 City for a year,
and during that time M ills treated me very
kindly. He made a gieat deal of money,
supplying wine stores to the region about
there. At last he acquired '.he habit of
gambling, and in a few months squandered
all the money he had made. He began to
treat me cruelly also, and one night, after
he had lost, considerable money, he beat
me. Shortly afterward we went to Utah.
There Mills went to cleikiug in a wine
store. He wis ve -y steady for several
mouths and treated meTwith something of
his old kindness ; but, the life he was lead
ing was not exciting enough for him, and
he resigned his position and forced me with
threats to accompany him to S,ih Lake
City. I had alivaj-s a horror of that place,
aud I look back on my life there with a
shudder.
"Mills never gave me a kind word after
we went to Salt Lake. In company with a
miner named Rill (Mney he stalled a faro
bank and a houses of til fame. He became
lost to all sense of shame. He compelled
me to superintend I be kitchen of his lion id
establishment and beat me at, the slightest
provocation. The place was broken up af
ter tunning a year and a half, anil Oltiey
and Mills opened a gambling house on a
small scale. Iu 1871 Mills, professing to
have joined the Mormons, mat l ied atiot her
woman, and installed Iter in the house.
Three days afierwaid he married st ill an
ol her and brought her to his house. The
cruelty of this man for whom I had left
everything, wasall forgotten by me in these
crowning indignities, aud I determined to
fly from him, at. whatever risk. One night
iu October, 1871, I disguised myself aud
left Mdls' house. I had but a little n. oner,
but by walking nnd woiking whenever I
could I succeeded in leachinu Ocnverabont
ihe 1st of .January. I wot ked in the City
Hotel there for a year and a half as dining
room gill, and just before I left' there fad
in the U-Ktky Mountain Ar ihe account
of the killing of George Miils by bis part
ner, Rill Olney, in Salt Lake, during a
quarrel over the division of some gambling
profits.
"The desire to write home and tell of my
sufferings nnd beg forgiveness of those I
had wronged was always strong with me.
but a sense of shame and pride prevented
me.
'In the summer of 1S73 a party of Eng
lish tourisls came to Denver, and I went
with the.n to the Spanish Peaks as a wait
ing maid for one of Ihe ladies of ihe parly.
From there I nceompaiii-d hem into New
Mexico nnd returned with them to Denver
iu ihe spiing of 1871. The party were
making a tour of the world, and it. was only
the unconquerable desire I had of ulli
rrately returning homo 'hat prevented me
remaining with the l.ndy whose maid I bad
been and going with the tourists.
"When the left Denver I started east.
At St, Louis I was takeu sick with fever,
and for three mouths was unable to leave
the city. My savings were then used up.
A Mrs. Van Atta, a young married woman
from New Jersey, and who was on her
way wiih her husband to Minnesota for
her health, engaged me in St. Louisas her
traveling companion. I went wiih her to
Minnesota, w hei e she died in 187G, about
one year ago, near Iiacka lake.
"Jvcit alone again and failing in health
myself, I determined to make my way
back home. I had sufficient money for
the purpose, but in coming from the lakes
to Rraineid Junction on the Mississippi
river, I was robbed of nearly all by a half
breed Indian, who was fetching me in.and
who left me to walk nearly thiity miles to
Rraineid.
"For a year after that I had been cam.
ing a livlihood sewino, tiavtling eastward
fiom time to time. I went out of my
course to Litchfield to accommodate a lady
who had been veiy kind to me. To her I
told my s'ory for the first time. She ad
vised me lo write to my father at oree,
which I did. To hear that he was dead
wr.s a bitter blow to me, as I had yearned
lo tell him how I had suffered, and lo hear
him forgive me-"
When Mr. Tirtr was given ihe sub
stat.ee of the above stoiy by Mr. Pool he
sought an interview with his late wife at
once. The result of that interview was a
proposal fioni him that she become his
wife again. He was willing to let. bygones
be bygones, and declined his belief that
she had been more sinned against than
sinning. Mr. Pool returned home .ind
finer and the strangely recovered wife
were remarried iu St. Paul.

When yon are seated keep calm, what

Never hammer your feet for the next

When anything nice is put on the table,

When the entrees come round, make a

Never lake more than four helps of any

Never speak with your mouth full ; first
because it is vulgar ; and secondly because .
you can t.

PL'Al'tll THE TOCNO MAN.
A good story about Maik Twain is just
beginning to leak out here. Some lime
ago he w ent on a visit to Elm it . -i. New
1 ork, leaving his quaint house among the
trees on Farmington avenue in clinic, e of
his seivauts. Neatly ".wo weeks ago an
item was published in the Hart foul daily
papeis chronicling an ineffectual attempt
to rob the humorist's residence. The sto
ry was that a man presented himseirat tlie
door one day, saying that he had been
sent l)3r the gis company to justice, the
meter and pipes. The servants, v. ho had
not the slightest suspicion, allowed the
stranger to enter and do as he .leae.-.
When he supposed no .me was watching
his movements, he hid himself aw ay in a
d. nk comer (of which there nie many in
"lie odd chalet), and wailed for daikticss.
Rut the gill who had watch, d bis move
ments, went and procured assistance, and
had the intruder bounced"' wi'hout cere
mony. When Mr. Clemens In aid the
sioiy in Elmiia, he thought ho stiic'ie.1. a
veiy large rat, and hastened to Hailfnil
wiih the purpose of fcrietiug it out. His
iheoiy was that one of 1 be sei v.mt girls
must have had a beau, who was admit ed
to Ihe house at unusual hours, and that,
being caught in '.he net, this means of
concealing the real 1 1 ut h of t he case was
adopted. "A. ith all the sagacity of an ex
journalist he followed his clue, but could
not establish the theoiy he had foimed.
Rut while putsuing his investigation he
learned that one of the gills who had been
a member of his family a long time was
really guilty of having a male udiimer,
w ho occasionally shared the hospitality of
his house, unknown to the piopii.tor.
She was a buxt-m English girl, with a
handsome form and ; bright, checilnl
face. Faithful in Ihe pet format ice of her
duties, and al ,va3S solicitous for the best
interest of the family, she had made her
self almost inviiluuble to the household.
'Ihe high esteem in which Mr. Clemens
had always held her bo doubt itilliictired
his course. He was sorry lo prut with tlie
girl who had seivcd him well. but. seeing
no other alternatively, quicker matured a
plan that should "let her down easy-."
After a long hunt he succeeded iu discov
eting the young fellow's name. hen
that was gained. Mr. Clemens went down
town aud proem ed a mat 1 iage cci titicate.
Returning, he stopped at the residence of
the Rev. Mr. Tw itclu 11, pastor of the Asylum-Church,
and took him into his car
riage. At rived home, the first thing done
was to send for the young map, who soon
appeared somewhat fiighlcned at Ihe sum
mons. From It is dress and general appear
ance of decay, it, was evident that his cir
cumstances were not those of violent pros
perity. When he was brought in Maik
braced up and tiicd to look dignified.
This was about the dialogue that ensued :
Maik. So, young Ii.an, you have
been in the habit of making a hotel of my
bouse with all the modern improvemen s.
Silei.ce unbioken by the young man.
Well, as you don't offer aii3' objections,
we'll take that, part of the matter for
granted. If your offense had stopped at
that point it would have been all light. I
