spreading the reports that MR. JOHN

Nothing could be more Untrue!
Mr. JOHN WANAMAKER has pre
cisely the same relations to Oak Hall as
in the past.

it has been ever since Mr. Brown died, 12
years ago.
Mr. JOHN WANAMAKER per
sonally watches over the faithful prepa
ration of the stock of MEN'S AND
BOYS' CLOTHING, and the conducting
of the store. Nothing is allowed to pass
his eye that is not straightforward and
true to the interest of those who have
patronized the house for 19 years and
depend on its reliability.
From all appearances the year 1880 is to be
the largest in sales ever known.

Shippcntburg Chronicle. I
As tlm sun, one August lry some fifty
I years ajo, hail just past the meridian of a
j country town in tlio Eastern section of Long
: Island, a sinclts traveler came up to the
i quaint, low-roofed village tavern, opened its j
: half-door, and entered the common room, i
; Dust covered the clothes of the wayfarer, and i
! bis brow was moist with sweat, lie trod '
! with a lacsjinjr, weary pace, though his form J
i and features told of an ao;e not more than
t nineteen or twenty years. Over one shoul-
dor was slung a sailor's jacket, and in his
! hand he carried a little bundle. Sittingdown
( on a rude bench, he told a female who made
' hei appearance behind the bar that he would
have a glass of brandy and sugar. He took
o!T the liquor at a draught, after which he lit
I and began to smoke a cigar, with which he
j supplied himself from his pocket stretching
I out one leg, and leaning his elbow down on
the bench, in the attitude of a man who
j takes an indolent lounge.
"Do you know one Richard Hall that lives
somewhere here among you?" said he.
"Mr. Hall's is down the lane that turns off
j by that big locust tree," answered the wo
i man, pointing to the direction through the
! open'door ; "it's about half a mile from here
j to his house."
j The youth, for a minute or two, puffed the
i smoke from his mouth very leisurely in si-
lence. His manner had an airof vacant self
sufficiency, rather strange in one of so few
I years.
j "I wish to see Mr. Hall," hesaid, at length.
: "Here's a silver sixpence for any one who'll
1 carry a message to him."
"The boys are all away. It's but a short
walk, and your limbs are young," replied the
female, who was not altogether pleased with
! tiie easy way of making himself at home,
! which marked her shabby-looking customer,
i That individual, however, seemed to give
small attention to the hint, but leaned and
! puffed his cigar smoke as leisurely as before.
"T'nless," continued the woman, catching
a second glance at the sixpence ; "unless Old
Joe is at the stable, as he's very likely to be.
I'll go and find out for you." And she push
ed open a door at her back, stepping through
an adjoining room into a yard, whence her
voice was the next moment heard calling the
, person she had mentioned, in accents by no
means remarkable for tludr melody or soft-
i ness.
Her search was successful, she soon re
I turned with him who was to act as messen
ger a little, withered, ragged, old man, a
hanger-on there, whose unshaven face told
I plainly enough the story of his intemperate
j habits those deeply-seated habits, now too
j late to be uprooted, that would ere long lay
1 him in a drunkard's grave. The young man
informed him what the required service was,
I and promised him the reward as soon as he
1 should return.
! "Tell Richard Hall that I'm going onto
' his father's house this afternoon. If he aks
' who it is that wishes him here, say the person
j sent no name," sitting up from his indolent
1 posture, as the feet of Old Joe were about
I leaving the door-stone, and his bleared eyes
turned to catch the last sentence of the man
; date.
"And yet, perhaps, you may as well," ad
: ded the youth, communing a moment with
himself; "you may ttll him his brother
, Frank, wild Frank, it is, who wishes him to
come. I he old man departed on his er
rand, and he who called himself wild Frank
tossed his nearly-smoked cigar out of the
window and folded his arms in thought.
No better place than this, probably, will
occur to give a brief account of some former
events in the life of the young stranger rest
ing and waiting at the village inn. Fifteen
miles east of that inn lived a farmer named
Hall, a man of good repute, well off in the
world, and head of a large family. He was
fond of gain required all his boys to labor in
It beinp a custom of the farmer to let each of
his boys have something about the farm they J
could call their own, and take care of as such, j

somehow or other fallen to Frank's share. I

brother, however, saw fit to claim it for him. !
self, and several times to exercise a privilege
of managing and using Black Nell, notwith
standing what Frank considered his prerog
ative. On one of these occasions a hot dis
pute arose, and, after much angry blood, it
was referred.to the farmer for settlement.
ne decided in favor of Richard, and added a
harsh lecture to his other son. The farmer
was really unjust and Wild Frank's face
paled with rage and mortification. That fu
rious temper which he had never been taught
to curb, now swelled like an overflowing tor
rent. With difficulty restraining the exhibi
tion of his pissions, as soon as he 'got by
cause of his departure from home by a sin
gular fatality the companion of his return
quietiy cropped the grass at his side.
An hour nearly passed away, and yet the
young man slept on. The light and heat
were not glaring now ; a change had come
over the aspect of the scene. There were
signs of one of those sudden thunder-storms
that in our climate spring up and pass over
so quickly and so terribly. Masses of vapor
loomed up in the horizon, and a dark shadow
settled on the woods and fields. The leaves
of the great oak nistlod together over the
youth's head. Clouds flitted swiftly in the
sky, like bodies of armed men coming up to
battle at the call of their leader's trumpet.
A thick raindrop fell now and then, while
occasionally hoarse m titterings of thunder
sounded in the distance: yet the sltimberer
was not aroused. I.o ! thus in the world you
may see men steeped in lethargy while a
mightier tempest gathers over them. Even
ns the floods are about to burst as the warn-

but was evidently sick in spirit. Nearly two 1 Its fury. Black Nell had ceased grazing, and
years had elapsed, when about a week before ' stood by her sleeping master with ears erect,
the incidents at the commencement of this I
story, the farmer's family were joyfully sur- ',
prised by receiving a letter from the long- !
absent son. He had been to sea. and was
then in New York, at which port his vessel
was just arrived. He wrote in a gay strain; .
appeared to have lost the angry feeling which 1
caused his flight from home ; and said that j
he heard in the city that Richard had mar- j
ried, and settled several miles from home,
where he wished him all good luck and hap- '
piness. Wild Frank wound up his letter by
promising, as soon as ho could get through
the imperative business of his ship, to pay a
visit to his home and native place. On Tues- :
day of the succeeding week, he said he would
I be with them. .
' Within half au hour after the departure of .
j Old Joe, the form of that ancient personage
! was seen slowly wheeling round the locust- ;
! tree at the end of the lane, accompanied by a j
: stout young man in primitive homespun ap. :
: pare!. Tho meeting between Wild Frank
' and his brother Richard was hardly of that
; kind which generally takes place between
; persons so closely related : neither could it
be called distant nor cool. Richard piessed
! his brother to go with him to the farm-house,
and refresh and repose himself for some
. hours at Ieat, but Frank declined. j
"They will all expect ine at home this af- !
' ternoon," hesaid. "I wiote to them I would
bo there to-day." '
! "But you must be very tired, Frank," re- '
j joined tht; other ; "won't you let some of us
' harness up and carry you ? Or if you like-"
' he stopped a moment, and a triflingsuffusion
' spread over his face ; "or if you like, I'll put
' the saddle on Black Nell she's here at my
! place now, and yon can ride home like a
: lord."
! Frank's face colored a little, too. He
' paused for a moment in thought he was
really foot-sore and exhausted with his jor.r
, ney that hot day, so he accepted his broth
' er's offer.
"You know the speed of Nell as well as I," '
said Richard ; "I'll warrant when I bring her '
here you'll say she's in as good order as ever."
So telling him to amuse himself for a few
. minutes as well as he could, Richard left the
tavern '
i Could it be that Black Nell knew her old
master? She neighed, and rubbed her nose
on his shoulder, and as he put his foot In th
! stirrup and rose ot: her back, it was evident
that they were both highly pleased with the
i meeting. Bidding his brother farewell, and
' not forgetting Old Joe, the young man set
forth on his journey for his father's honse.
As he left the village behind, and came upon
the long, monotonous road before him, his
mind began to meditate on the reception he
I should meet with. He thought on the eir
: cumstanees of his leaving home ; and he
thought, too, on his course of life, how it was
being frittered away and lost. Very gentle
influences came over Wild Frank's nature
then, for he yearned to show his parents that
: he was sorry for the trouble he had cost them
; ne biamed himself for his former follies, and
even felt remorse that he had not acted more
kindly to Richard and gone to his house.
: Oh, it had been a sad mistake of the farmer
that he did not teach his children to love one
! another. It was a foolish thing that he prided
' himself on, of governing his little flock well,
when sweet affection, gentle forbearance,
' and brotherly faith, were a!;not unknown
' among them.
' The day was now advanced, though the
' heat poured down with a strength little less
oppressive than at noon. Frank had accom
i plished the greater part of his journey ; he
! was within three miles of his home. The
! road here led over a high, tiresome hill, and
he determined to stop on the top of it and
rest himself, as well as give tl-.e animal he
I rode a few minutes' breath. How well he
knew the place! And that mighty oak,
' standing just outside the fence on the very
j summit of the hill, often had he reposed un
' der its shade. It would be pleasant for a
! few minutes to stretch his limbs there again
; as of old, lie thought to himself, and he dis-
mounted from the saddle and led Black Nell
j under the tree. Mindful of the comfort of
; his favorite, he took from his little bundle,
' which he had strapped behind him ou the
j mare's back, a piece of small, strong coid,
and her long mane and tail waving in the
wind. It seemed quite daik, so heavy were j
the clouds. Tho blast came sweepingly, the
lightning flashed and the Tain fell in torrents. ;
Crash after crash of thunder seemed to shake j
the solid earth. And Black Nell, she stood
now, an image of beautiful terror, with her I
fore feet thrust out. her neck arched, and her
eyes glittering balls of fear. At length, af
ter a dazzling and lurid glare, there came a I
peal a deafenining crash as if the great
axle was rent; it seemed to shiver the very ;
central foundations, and every object ap
peared reeling like a drunken man. Cod of
Spirits ! the startled mare sprang otT like a
ship in an ocean-storm her eyes were blind
ed with terror she dashed madly down tlie
hill, and plunge after plunge, far, faraway,
swift as an arrow, dragging the hapless :
body of the sleeper behind her.
In the low, old-fashioned dwelling of the
farmer there was a large family group. The
men and boys had gathered under shelter at .
the approach of the storm, and the subject of
their talk was the return of the long-absent
son. The mother spoke of him too, and Ikt
eyes brightened with pleasure as she spoke.
She had made all the little domestic prepara- i
tions cooked his favorite dishes and at
ranged for him his own bed, in its own old
place. As the tempest was at its fury, they
discussed the probability of his getting soak
ed by it, and the provident dame had already
selected some dry garments for a change. '
But the rain was soon over, and nature
smiled again in her invigorated beauty. The
sun shone out as it was dipping in the west.
Drops sparkled on the leaf-tips, coolness
and clearness were in the air.
The clattering of a horde's hoofs came to
the ears of those who were gathered there.
It was on the other side of the hou-e that the
wagon road led, and they opened the door
and rushed through the adjoining room to
the porch. What a siiilit it was that met
them there! Black Nell stood a lew feet
from the door, with her neck crouched down:
she drew her breath long and deep, and va
por rose from every part of her recking body.
And with eyes starling from their sockets,
and mouths again- in stupefying terror, they
beheld on the ground near her a mangled,
hideous mass the rough semblance of a l.u- .
man form all battered, and cut and bloody.
Attached to it was the fatal cord, dabbled
fiver with gore. Fearful and si' ketiing was
the object. And as the mother gazed for 1
she could not withdraw her eyes an.l the
appalling truth came upon her mind, she
sank down, without shriek or utterance, into
a deep, deathly swoon.
Natitu. Chamtacm:. The process of
! producing natural champngne, that is to say,
champagne into which carbonic acid gas has
i been infused by an artificial process, in Ca'i
' fornia, is precisely the same a that followed
by all well-regulated houses in the champagne
' district in France. The choicest varieties of
I vines are imported directly from the cham
! pagne district in France, and planted in Cal
! ifoinia soil, and by this means the French
1 grape is grow;' in that State, and a good
, foundation laid for the reproduction of
French w ine. One firm in California, during
the last year, produced more than twelve
thousand cases of champagne by this French
( process, and the wine is considered by many
persons to compare favorably with the im
i ported article. The true distinction to be
made between champagnes is that which
1 classifies them as the natural and the artifi
' cial wine. It requires at least two years to
! produce the natural champagne, because na
i ture is the agent which clarifiies and perfects
' it ; while the artificial or gas wine can lie
I mamif tcturcd in as many days. Of this ar
' tide there are two kinds, that which consists
of real wine, charged w ith carbonic acid gas,
' and that which consists of some other fluid,
' similarly charged. This fluid is a inixtuie of
watei, fruit essences, alum ami various other
1 ingredients. It is impossible to estimate the
' injury which this spurious article has done
I to the legitimate trade, for people become
j disgusted with all champagne after drinking
, the spurious wine.

obedience was a prime tenet in the farmer's
domestic government, the children all quietly
submitted to their brother's sway all but
one, and Miat one was Frank. The farmer's
wife was a quiet woman, in rather delicate
health ; and though for all her offspring she
had a mother's love, Frank's kiss ever seem
ed the sweetest to her lips. She loved him
more than the rest perhaps, as in a hundred
similar instances, for his being so often at
fault, and so often blamed. In truth, how
ever, he seldom received more blame than he
deserved, for he was a capricious, high tem-
without danger of straying away.
It was a calm scene, and a pleasant one.
There was no rude sound hardly even a
chirping insect to break the sleepy silence
of the place. The atmosphere had a dim,
hazy cast, and was impregnated with over
powering heat. The young man lay there
minute after minute, as time glided away
unnoticed ; for he was rery tired, and his re
pose was sweet to him. Occasionally lie
raised himself and cast a listless look at the
distant landscape, veiled as it was by the
slight mist. At length his repose was with-

tured and carried in irons to New York, and
! thence to Cuba, where he was sold as a slave,
i together with many others. The vessel on
which he was taken was a Federal gunboat.
In Cuba he worked ns a slave in factories for
nearly fifteen yfars, being entirely cut off
from all communication with home and
friends. He made seven attempts to escape
from bondage, all but the last, of course, be
ing unsuccessful. Finally he found an Amer
ican vessel, commanded by a Southerner, to
whom he related the history of his capture,
enslavement and forced exile, and begged to
be returned to bii home and family. The
captain secreted him in the hold of his ves
sel, carried him to Costa Rica, thence to New
Y'ork. Peyton then worked his way to Vir

"Stronh JMir." Ihe Berwickshire'
journal in 111 gave much information con
cerning this remai kabh-man. Though short
of stature, he possessed r. prod:.-?;ous-treiigth,
which earned for l.im the familiar eogn.imf-n
of "Jam!. Sri-g." or "s!i..:-g Jamie." A
writer in the R rvi id; 4.o -.!,'.-. r said :
"We have heard him statelhat the gieulest

she thought what a good joke it would '. to

She burst right out laughing nt n.i.h.ight
thinking about it. She took up the rubVr
bag of hot water and placed it on his stom

liver and as warm as a piece of shirgie on a
boy. It hadn't been on his stomach and oth

ly opened his eyes. She stuffed the upper
works of her right gown in her month to
keep from laughing. He raised up his head
and said : '-Harriet, my end has come."
"Which end, Jo-iah .'" she said, as she
rolled over, ' your head or your feet ."' And
