And stops at nothing which augments his pelf. A thousand happy homes he would destroy Hefore his flesh would hear one Fmnll annoy ; Nor God nor man regards, hut gluts his wish, -As one great shark doth swallow fish, lie strives and grasps at all within his ken, A nd occupies thclspnce designed for ten. With envious eye he views the poor iiihii's cot. And h.t tea the peace which crowns his huuiblo lot. To cheat, to cozen, or to undermine. Is Just as much hid nature its to dine.

On t lie outskirts of Tarrytown, on tbe the Hudson, there is an old fashioned tav ern witb w ide, low rooms, a square zorri- doi, wherein the stairway makes three I urns ; three lite places, roomy closets, in viting pi;izz:t9, all in admirable order well furnished, c;ied for, and last, but not least, a comfortable looking Jandlord, who leads the way to a pleasant sitting-room w ith an air that seema to say, "You city folks can gel something here that is ajio tizing broiled chicken, lYesl: vegetables and real cieam.'' If he thinks so he cer tainly keeps his promise, for his daily menu is excellent. This jolly landlord is pleased to show his house to sti angers, and de lights in telling them the old stories con nected with it, which have grown into le gends, if they will only listen. Throwing open the door at the head uf the stairway he poses himself with : This is the Hed I loom. A sweet lady from the West, who was los in that dread ful steamboat accident out there two years ago, occupied this room 'for weeks just be fore nhe died. She was bewitched with the scenery, the walks and the drives about here, and never tired of asking questions about Washington living had he ever been in this house? and when I told her that he had a thousand times, and that when bis funeral procession passed the door, and the public school children were stationed on either side of the road with wreaths and Uoweis in their hands to do his inemoiy honor, the tears ran down her checks. I bent for some of the ivy which giovvs on yonder church walls, and gave it to her to take home. You know that Irv ing brought it from the home of Sir Walter -cott, Abbotsford, Scotland. .Now this is the lllue Room." "What of this room? arjy romance ?" we asked. Not exactly," says mine host. "A bachelor comes here every summer on his way (he pretends) o Saiatoga, brings his horses and carriages and servant, lie al ways has had this room. It was all stuff that he just came here to be quiet. Why he was forever going down the road to see Miss L , or else sitting on Ihe piazza in the morning to see her drive by. My eyes but. she was a stunner ; and the way she handles her ribbons and talks to thoso horses is runny. I don't believe he'll come this summer for she got married last win ter to an old widower who took her off to a countiy town in New Jersey and kept her there in real Blue Heard style for three months, and then whisked her away to Europe without lei ting anybody know it. No, no, my bachelor of the Blue Boom won't come I his summer his buttet lly is caught." "And this is the Green Room ?" saitkwe as we passed into the next aparlmeut ad joining. 'What a gloomy room !" 'I never come here," said the landlord, "after dark, if I can help it and always put bridal couples here, 'cause they don t mind h'w gloomy it is," he added, slyly. "There's a story about this room. It's pretty long. Guess you had better mak3 yourself couifoi table, aud sit dowu while I tell it : ... "It's about twenty years ago last winter since tbe beginning of the circumstances happened which makes this room so gloomy to me. A lonely woman died here, and she had a strauo history. I was sitting in the bar room one awful cold night until it was very late with some cronies, and we were telling stories aud drinking ho, llip. Ob. how it snowed ! and the wind howled.aud it seemed as though Old Nick himself was let loose til! my comrades were afraid to go home, and I said : "Boys, let's keep it up till daylight.' "Just then tlrere came a tap at the hall door, very low at first, then louder. vVe were all scared, and did not dare to go and see who was there. At last we went in a body and carried a light, and when we opened ihe door something fell into the ball, all orvered with snow, and a little child's cry came from the bundle. I pick ed the bundle up a woman in her night dress bare footed, with a cloak thrown over her shoulders and over a baby. Great God, how we looked at each other when we saw that woman's face, for it was the grandest lady who lived about here, a beauty and the Ixiast of the country. Her home was mora than a mile away down by tbe liver. Ob, what could it all mean ? Iiird'9-ve View, Silk Dress Goods Mourning Goods Cloakings Flannels Linens Jfuslins Whits Goods lACS . . Hibhons Trimmings Embroideries Fringes Zephyrs and Worsteds JTeckwear Gloves m Toilet Articles Stationery Jtlotvers C Feathers Yas she crazy ? She looked at us all, and then said to me, 'Let me have a room, for I have come to stay." So I brought her to this very room. My woman folks got up and made her as comfortable as they could. She did not cry, but moaned now and theu for hours. At last she tolj me how her husband had always been cruel to her, aud that night bad threatened her life, aud she had tied iu secresy from him with her little babe." "Did she go back to him ?" we inquired. "Oh, no. He came here, but she would not see him. It made an awful scandal, which his family and her own tried to hush up. They all tried to coax her away, aud when she persisted in remaining they called her insane. That broke her heart quite. She induced her physician to say it would kill her to be removed, and so she staged until death, only a few weeks after, re leased her from all her misery. She is buried not far from here. The little baby was a girl six months old when she brought her, and as lovely as an ancel. She kept the child un'il she died." Aud the story teller slopped. "What of the husband ?" was asked. "Well, be pretended not to care abotft, her death, was lertibly dissipated, had o ple all the time to visit him, gave parlies, and lived a fast life. After madam's deal h the child went back to bis house, hut the lit 1 1 thing, very strangely, seemed to dis like bim, and avoided him as she grew older. Two or three years after he, too, died, leaving the baby in his sister's care, and, s she was bis only child, she inherit ed all his estate, a large one." "What become of her? did she grow up? is she living?" Yes she is alive, now," said the land lord, "but might better have perished witb her mother iu the snow, both of them to gether, than to have come here. "Her history is a sad one," Le continued after a pause, "very sad. The little Ma rie grew up into a beautiful woman, sur rounded with everything that wealth can give, courted, petted, and made selfish, by the very loneliness of her life ; for half ibe time her aunt was ill, or away, aud her companions were servants, who indulged ber in everything." "Did she know about ber mother?" "Not till she was sixteen, when some body told her out of spite. She come dy ing here, and asked my wife to tell her the truth. So we did ; and she came to this room aud cried as though her heart would break. Suddenly the old mansion she owned was for sale, and Marie bad gone away out to tlte West somewhere to visit a distant relative. She said she hated her father's memory, and would never live again in a house where ber dear mother had been kicked and beaten, and made to leave in the dead of a winter's night." "And the old place was sold ?"' "Yes, and all its historical belongings, and the lands about it." "Then, what became of her?" "You see her actions were so hurried, and she was so odd driving, sailing alone, caring for none of the young people about her. and when with them utterly unob servant of their wishes haughty and dreadlully cold, that it got whispered about that she was a chip of the old block kind of insane queer yet no one really be lieved it.

PHILADELPHIA. sult of her acquaintance with him, denied him the bouse, and finding that of no avail, by some treachery got her back East. Letters were forged, and she thought he had forgotten ber. After a trip to Europe aud a season of gaiety in New York, she owed her intention of enteiing a convent, but to the surprise and delight of her rela tives became engaged to a fine young fellow and seemed to be quite happy. "All would now have gone well, save for a demon of mischief a maid who was. with the mother here when she died, and bad taken care of the child as she grew up. This womauhad an interest in the Western lover for some reason and kept up a cor respondence witb him and btottght things to a head. Marie went to the theatre one night with her young man, the one she was engaged to, and was to see him the next evening at home. The morning after, this woman, Lisa, took a note up to her young mistress's bed chamber and waited for an answer. The note had a quick effect, Marie ran down stairs. There was the Western lover. A plan was soon laid be tween them." "What did she do?" 'A very strange thing," continued Ihe loquacious landlord. "She came to this house and said she was to be married here and secretly. I talked and talked to her; but. no use at all. Then I telegraphed to her. auntwho was South for her health, without letting Marie know of it. No use, no use. Where was the New York lover? Lisa lied to him, and said her young mis tress had gone into a convent, and she actu ally wrote notes as coming from a convent tolher relatives, announcing her (Marie's) determination to stay, but would not tell where." "And the Aunt?" "Oh, she got here too late. They had been married in my best parlor two days before she came, and bad gone away on a bridal trip. It was a sad enough wedding for a young heiress no bridesmaids, no satins and gegaws. But she was beautiful, my snowbird, as I call her, because she came in a snow storm, you know aud he was a manly fellow after all, and looked very proud of her as bo led her to my best carriage waiting at the door. Wife came up here and cried after all was over, aud went and got somebody's shoes out of that closet, where they had always been since the little Marie's departure. Ihe young couple settled in a very pretty house in the city purchased with the bride's money. Lisa bad been pensioned off. fo- shr might make more trouble. A year passed and the young wife clasped a baby of her owti to ber bosom. She seemed very happy, and to be devoted to ber husband and her little one. A few weeks passed, and again it was winter; again the snow was on the ground, when we were start led one evening by the arrival of Marie aud her bahy. They had come alone. Her eyes were wild and stiange as she asked for the Green lloorn. "No," I 8d. ' occupied." "Well, then, some other room." Almost immedi ately the husband arrived. He hadiraced ber aud followed her in thenext train. "Was she crazy ?" "Yes, crazy, and yet had such rational wavs sometimes that it seemed as though she was all right. She was very ill, and the physicians said she must be lakeu to nn asylum.

Thrilling Hide for Life. Andy Baker arrived here, says the Idaho Acalanrhe. on Saturday evening witu the mail. He furnishes further particulars of the death of George McCuthan, the driver. at the hands of the savages. When he saw the baud of Indians making towards htm he wheeled round in an instant and put his four horses on .the full run in the direction of Dry Creek. It was a race for life. Although the horses were the best stock on the road, it could not be expected that they would maintain the ascendancy in speed with such a heavy load to pull aud the savages pursuing them on horseback. But the driver and his passenger, know iug the fate that was in store fur them if they fell into savage hands, pushed along for a few minutes at a lightning rate. Ihe bullets or the pursuing savages were whizzing round them thick and fast, but they heeded them not. They were appall ed, however, at the fact that the distance was gradually lessening between the pur suers and the pursued, but in this dire emergency tbeir coolness did not desert them. The demoniac yells of the savages were now heard close to their rear. The dis tance sped over was about three miles, and then began a new phase of the struggle for life it was but the work of an instant fot driver and passenger to jump Trom tbe stage and cut loose the leaders. This they did, and each man mounting a horse sped onward, leaving the stage aud the other two horses behind them. They now seemed in a fair way to escape, The savages kept right on after them, seeming not satisfied with the booty that had been left them. About two miles had been made wheu an ntilooked for accident occurred. Tbe horses were still carrying all tbeir harness, and being thus encum bered, the one ridden by the driver stum bled and fell. He did not drag the other horse down with him, although the horses wore still connected with the harness as wheu attached to tbe wagon. The horse ridden by young Hamilton detached him self, and he was left to keep up the race alone. Poor McCuthan had no time to get his horse up and mount him. The savages were already upon bim, and immediately began their brutal and torturing work, killing nim by slow pro cess and raatilating his txdy. One of his eyes was gouged out. The fiends took his watch, ritled his jxckfcts and left his dis figured body near by. The mail sacks on the stage were subsequently cut open and their contents either appropriated or des troyed. Hamilton was pursued a short distance, but the chase was given up. He ran his horse several miles further, taking to the sage bush. Wheu opposite Dry Creek tbe animal sank from exhaust k ii. Hamilton made his way on foot to Diy Creek station, got a fiesh horse and he and the stock ten der started on, warning the few settlers r . .1 :. - I . . . along '.lie roaa 01 iuijeuuui", utu;,ei.

There were four of us in one of tbe cars on the Lyons Railroad. Four smokeis a fact which had n at lira by a tendency to bring us into sympathetic relations. 1 for get exactly how we fell into conversation, but, at any rate, by the time we had got to illeneuve the conversation was general ou tbe subject of railroad accidents. We bad all told stories of more or less interest, gar nished with the greatest amount of danger possible, when tbe only one among us who had not yet furmshod a budget of adven ture, said : "All that, gentlemen, is undoubtly ex trcmely interesting, but will you allow me to say that the whole of the singular ac cidents of which you have spoken are as nothing compared to a railroad catastrophe which happened some years ago in Eng land, and at which I was uu willingly present ? Very naturally this beginning awakened our interest, and we entreated him to go on. Willingly, -gentlemen," said our traveling companion. "As I 6aid before. it was in England, about five years ago. had taken the Bristol train at G o'clock iu the morning a morning that I shall never forget for a little village some twenty miles off. W e had been going along very smoothly, when, from the railroad carriage in which I was placed the first on the train the noise of a violent quarrel reached me. I looked out of the window. The noise came from the locomotive, where fight had begun between the engineer and fireman. I learned later tbe cause of the dispute, which, I might as well 6ay now aiose from jealously of some woman. It had one burned in their hearts : and now that the explosion had come it was violent "I was. as I say, gentlemen, at the window looking out, when the noise re doubled. The struggle was becoming furious, Tbe two men were fighting, like wild beast. inn shudder, gentlemen Ah 1 I shudder still when I saw what shall never cease to see. I he two men writhed out of the engine in their agony and rolled off. The train was going at the rate of twenty miles an hour. Left to it self, the engine went faster and faster The fields, the trees, tbe houses disappear ed iu a way that made my head swim We nassed a station. We scarcely had time to see it. Another one passed, a third a fourth. Cries of horror were heard from the different coaches- Me felt that we were lost ! Already I could see the little detxit at the end of the route ; nothing could save us from being dashed to pieces I resigned myself to fate and shut my eyes. "Fontainebleau! Eontaitiebleau!" broke in the voice of tbe conductor, interrupting the story of our companion. "Sorry treutiemen. but 1 got out here," and bow ing politely he disappeared. None of us have ever heard the end of that story. Courier de EUits Lni. An Old Puzzle Rewritten. "If yon please, sir, I'm a poor loy, but I'm awfully smart aud I want to work." The storekeeper looked at bis customer in astonishment. The boy was a little bit of a fellow, and bischiu came just over the top of the counter. "Well, said tbe storekeeper, "you seem to have a pretty good idea of yourself." "That s so," said tbe boy, "l lost my last place 'cause I was smart." "All right, then, I'll show you where vou made a great mistake when you ay you'te smart. Do you see that jug over there ?" "No, t-ir," said tbe boy, looking bard at a green box marked, "Six gross safety pins." "Not there, 'way back in tbo store." "Oh, yes," said the hoy. "Now" that jug is full of vinegar ; it holds eight quarts kut I haven't any empty measures exceptingone holding five quarts. Now, if you're as smart as you say you are, perhaps you cau measure the four quarts from the eight quarts by using the three and five ?" "I can do it," said the boy, "just as easy as fishing." "If you do, I'll give you two dollars a week and your clothes. No guessing now, you must measure exactly " "All right," said the boy, "have your tailor here in fifteen minutes to measure me, please." The tailor might have come earlier, as tbe boy bad the four quarts of vinegar measured out in less tbau live minutes. How did be do it? "FLY Laxovaor." It seems from a paper read the other day beforo tne Sciety of Arts by Mr. W. II. Preece, that the Hies which are now becoming so numeious with the increasing warmth really have a speech of their own, and are not confined to the irritating buzz with which they have been so long associated. This fly language can be heard with the assistance of the microphone, which magnifies and aids the ear as the microscope does the eye. Mr. Preece states that, with it, he has heard the tramp of a little fiy across a box with a tread almost as loud as that of a iiotao across a woodcu bridge. THE EDITORS.

We have calm, unmoved and immovable. sleeping consciences that you couldn't quicken with a stroke of lightning. What a priceless treasure is such a conscience. Journalism is the profession without jeal ousy. I don t believe there is a profession in the world so free from jealousy as this. Look at musical people. They are the worst in the lot. Music bath charms to sooth a savage, but it has no power t tame the ferocity of people who play, and sing, ana teach it. An opera companv, without a black eve is an unheaid of won der. All through the opera season the frightened air is full of the loud wi ang lings of waning tenor and suprauo, con ttalto and basso. Every mail brings to our ears the crash of another footstool Christine Nilssou has kicked over. Aud a church choir why, I never knew but one choir that didn't have a chronic tow on its hands dating back as far as the tariff bill, aud more complicated than the Louisiana investigation. And that one bioke up the first Sunday. One of the fiist indications of a revival in the chinch is wheu the so prano and alto get on shaking terms with each other. And at a music 1 tesii val, did you ever notice how the chorus stood back and glared at the solo? It U awful. But with us there is none of that feeling. We love each other.

The old man Smith, of Richticld, is a self sullicient sort ot old fellow, aud prides himself upon his riding abihies. One dy he espied his young hopeful leading a colt to water rather gingerly, and reinaiked : "Why on oaitb don't you ride that beast?"' "I'm fraid to; 'fraid he'll throw me." "Bring that boas here," suapped the old man. The colt was urged up to Ihe fence, and braced on one side by the boy while the old man climbed on the rails and stocked him self on the coil's back. Then he was let go, aud the old gentleman rode proudly off. Paralyzed by fear the colt went slowly for about twenty rods without a demonstration. Then like lightning his four legs bunched together, bis back bowed like" a viaduct arch and the old man shot up iu the air, turned seven separate and distinct somer saults atid lit on the small of bis back in the middle of the road, with both legs twisted around his neck. Hastening to bim the young hopeful anxiously inquired: "Did it hurt you, pa?"
