Hl'liVS TRAMP.
It was ft chilly evening In November.
The wind nmaned drenr'Jy around the
corner of Ivy cottajre, and the bright open
Prc-plnce seemed doubly cheery and in
viting l:i contrast to the cold and dark
ness rmtskle.
In ,-i lnxnrionfl easy cL.ilr reclined a fciir
girl, her white hands resting idly In hor
lap, and her eyes fixed on t he glowing em
bers. Presently she spoke, in a tone that
wtis hnlf jesting, half impatient.
"Knby, do put that everlasting darning
away. It positively tries me to have yon
sit there stitching away a-s If your Ufo de
pendeil on it."
" I am sorry to weary you M.-iude, bat '
I have one more hole to darn. Dear me I
What a big hole it is :" she. went on, 9ur
veyint; it with cotnicil dismay.
She was not pretty, yet no one who
knew P.nby would ever have thought of
calling her plain, rilio possessed no trace
of her cousin's fair, stately beauty, but
her sweet face had nn attraction that few
could withstand, he differed from her
cousin as much in disposition ns she Hd
In feature, for Maude was pro rid, selfish,
nnd discontented, although she was a
petted only child, while little Kuby, a de
pendent orphan, was as haj py as the day
was long, and loved nothing better than
to make everybody else as happy as her
self. Tha two girls made a pretty picture as
they sat there in the bright, cosy room,
and so thouaht a stranger who paused for
a moment outside the window to admire
the scene. Only for a moment did he
pause there, then groping his way through
the darkness up to the door, he knocked.
Hiiliy sprung to obey the summons. As
she opened the dixr she saw a man stand
ing liefore her in a worn, decidedly shab
by suit of clothes, lie raised his hat.
" Can you kiudly give me shelter here
for the nTght " he beft,n, but before he
had time te any more Maude sprang to
her feet, exclaiming angrily.
"Ruby, shut that door, this instant!
It's a tramp, and we shall all be robbed
and murdered in our beds if we let him
in."
But tendcr-hoarted Iiuby found it hnrd
to oliey her cousin's command.
' I am sorry,'-she said, gently, trying to
soften her cousin's harsh words, but I am
afraid you cannot stay here..'
'Can you tell me where I enn find a
lodging t asked the straaer. " I have
been ill, and cannot spend this cold night
in the fields."
Ituby hesitated
Wait a moment, please !" she exeValni
ed hastily, then obeying nt last Maude's
repeated commands to "shut and lock
that door," she darted up sfckira to her
own little room.
She drew from Its hiding place a little
gold dollar, one of her chief treasures, and
hastening down stairs aguin, she opened
the door.
"What are you going to dor" asked
Maude angrily, lay!ng a detaining hand
u,'on her, and trying to shut the door
again In spite of ltuby's efforts. "I won't
let you give this miserable fellow any
money. He w ill only spend It for liquor
and get drunk on it. Are you crazy,
Kuby f" she asked, ns the girl darted past
her out In the porch.
" Here is some money, poor man," she
panted breathlessly. "There is a little
hotel about a mile farther down the road,
and you can get supper and lodging
there. I wish 1 could let you stay here."
The stranger raised the little hand that
profiered the coin respectfully to his lips,
and t hanking her, turned away and van
ished in the darkucs.H.
"I would like to give you a good shak
ing," enid the angry Maude, as she closed
and locked the door with rather unnec
essary vehemence. " I believe you would
have been perfectly willing to let that
mi mUU tramp stay here all night Ltit
hadn't been for me."
" I don't believe he was a tramp at all,:
Maude," protested Ruby. ' He looked
like a gentleman, though his clothes were
rather fhabby, I must confess. He look
ed sick; too. I should have been dread
fully onoomfortable to think that per
haps he might have had to wander about
all night, when we are so warm and com
fortable." " You're a silly goose," was Maude's
only reply, and Ruby said no more,
though she secretly rejoiced In the
thought of the comfort that her long
treasured gold coin would procure the
poor wanderer.
A week later there was great excite
ment among the young ladies in this part
of the country. The owner of Kiver
view, a beautiful country seat in the
neighborhood, had returned after an ab
sence of twelve years. Ho was a single
gentleman, and in every feminine heart
there burned a secret hope that she might
become the mistress of Riverview. When
Invitations for a reception were issued, the
excitement rose to fever heat, and nothing
else was talked or thought of for days.
Kven little Kuby had a share In this de
lightful bustle of preparation. Her uncle
had laughingly declared that she should
have a chance at Mr. Karle with all the
rest of the girls, and had bidden her
choose a new dress for the occasion.
Maude stood before her mirror when
the important evening came, conscious
that she would have no rival in beauty.
She was really beautiful in a dress of
creamy satin, with folds of filmy lace half
concealing, half revealing her rounded
arms and graceful neck.
Ruby was quite eclipsed by her cousin's
magnificence in hor plain dress of white
muslin, looped with bunches of scarlet
geraniums : but berfaoe was radiant with
delijrht, and she admired her cousin with
out a trace of envy shadowing her happi
ness. When they had taken off their wrap
pings and descended to the brilliantly
Illuminated parlors Kuby grasped her
cousin's arm with a cry of surprise :
"lyook, Maude; look, there's my
tramp :"
The weather-worn suit had been roplaced
by a faultless evening costume, but Ruby
recognized the dark eyes and clear-eut
features.
Maude recognized him too. and her
haughty face arew pale with vexation and
disappointment, for she had not doubted
that she w&uld be able to win the
homage of the master ef Uivervlew. That
would not be possible now. She could
never atone for the harsh, cruel words to
the homeless watideyer who had pleaded
lor shelter under her roof.
Everybody was surprised and some of
the moet aspiring young ladies not a lit
tle Indignant when the master of River
view paid the most marked attention to
quiet little Ruby.
" Do you recognise this V he asked her,
before the evening was over, directing hor
attention to a little gold coin that hung
on his watch-ohaln.
Ruby blushed.
" Please excuse me," she faltered. ' 1
thought you were poor awl hadn't any
money to pay for a lodging anywhere,
and yoa looked sick."
" I must explain to you how I happened
to bo asking for lodging," lie said, look
ing tenderly at the downcast, blushing,
face. " I had not been well for months
and uay physician advUed me to rough It
for a wuUd ; to take a walking tour
through the country. I lost my way, aud
fearing that I would be thoroughly
chilled through before I reached River
view, I ventured to ask for a night's en
tertainment. I forgot how roujh my ap
pearance was, and I certainly do not
wouder that your aousin took me for a
tramp."
" Oh. she will be so sorry new that she
knows who you are," exclaimed Ruby,
blushing again at the rejiiumbaunce of
Maude's words.
" I feel as though I ought to return you
this llttlo coin," he said, "now that you
kuow I am not In pressing need of it, bnt
if you will allow me 1 will keep It to re
mind me of your kindness to one whom
you supposed was poor and homeless,
hometime. perhaps, I may venture to
oTer you something In exchange for it."
After that evening all the other girls
gave up their hopes of winning Mr.
Karle's heart, and before many weeks
had passed he told shy, blushing Kuby of
his love.
There was no need of a lonn engage
ment, and ere long the Joyous wedding
bells rang out their sweet ohimes, and
poor little Uuby, who had been dependent
upon hor uncle's charity for her home,
became mistress of Riverview.
PAYING A CONSCIENCE DEBT.
A Itemarkable Cmn of tlie Kind
Itronjclit to Light at Wanking Ion.
The archives of the government contain
many curious communications, but none,
probably, possess a more romantic interest
thau the following, which the Washington
correspondent of the lioston Herald was
permitted to read by a Treasury Depart
ment official. It was a letter which ac
companied a large sum of money as a con
tribution to flhe conscience fund. The
wriler began by stating that In the year
1S0H he was a passengor on the steamship
Henry Chauncey, New York to San Fran
cisco. He was a telegraph operator and
under engagement to the California State
Telegraph Company. During the voyage
he became acquainted with a gentleman
who wa known to his fellow passengers
as Charles Edmund Hastings. A fast
friendship grew up between him and the
writer. Upon their arrival in San Fran
cisco they put up at the same hotel aud oc
cupied adjoining rooms. What followed
Is here given in the writer's own words :
" The next day I reported for dttfy.
I-ate in ths afternoon I received, among a
number of other telegrams, one from the
Chief Inspector of the Postofflee Depart
ment at Washington directing the author
ities at San Francisco to keep a sharp
lookout for one Charles Emmons, who had
stolen money to the amount of 65,000
while an employe of the New Y'ork Post
offlee. The description of Emmons tallied
exactly with that of my friend Hasting,
and in some indefinable manner I became
convinced that he and the defaulter were
one and the same person. Upon the Im
pulse of the moment I slipped the message
Into my pocket.
"When I returned to the hotel 1 hsnded.
It to Hastings and asked him to read it.
I then told him my suspicions. Without
going too deeply into particulars, he con
fessed everything. It was the old story.
He had sunk every dollar he possessed in
Wall street, and, in an evil moment, had
used the funds of the office, until detec
tion stared him in the face. Ho started
for New Orleans, but, hearing that the
police were on his track, conceived the
daring plan of returning to New Y'ork
and embarking from there to California.
While search was being made for him In
the Ponth he was rapidly steaming away
to the Faclflc slope. At the expiration of
several weeks they had probably found a
new clew, which had resulted in the send
ing of the telegram In question.
Hastings beggeA me not to expose him.
and promised that under a new name and
in a new country he would begin life
over, and in a few years make good the
government's Iohs. I promised silence,
and he disappeared that night. I learned
from a mutual friend some months later
that Emmons went to Virginia City, Nev.,
and there died of am incurable disease. A
few years ago, ry the death of a relative,
I came Into possession of what to a man
of my modest desires is an ample fortune.
I desire, therefore, to make restitution to
the government for the amount of Mr.
Emmons speculation. In which I have
always considered myself an indirect ac
complice. The sum inclosed is the princi
pal and interest to data."

QTJS METHODS OF ENTERTAINMENT.

Cm my arrival at Leht I was directed,
as usual, to the Bishop's house for enter
tainment. Rapping at the door, I was
soon confronted by a large, heavily -built,
broa 1 shouldered fellow, who asked me.
In anything but polite language, what I
wanted f I Informed him that I desired
entertainment for the night.
" Where are you from f "
" Califoruia, sir."
" Where are you going "
" South," I answered. After plying ma
with a few more questions of a similar
nature he invited me In. On entering tho
house he turned to me and said :
" Do you see that rifle up there ?"
looking up to the point indicated I Faw
one of those long, murderous rifles, com
monly called Mississippi rifles, resting
snugly upon the antlers ot a Rocky Moun
tain buck, I told him that I saw it. and
ranch admired the artistic manner ot
hanging it.
" Well, mister, that is our law maker.
When any one comes among ns and tma
mits any dirt we do not hesitate for one
moment to use it. Now, listen to ma. I
am the Bishop of this settlement I have
two wives and several daughters. Now,
If you can promise me not to speak to, or
even look at, any of my women folks, you
are welcomo to remain over night. Keep
youroyebn that rifle and mind what I
told you. Can you do it t"
It was a misrhty hard Job, but I first
told him that I was at his command, and
if it was hU honest flost re, why, of course
I would obey him. At that time he bade
me follow him into an adjoining room,
where his family was assembled. I was
dimly conscious that there wore sevoral
females seated around the fire. He drew
up a chair for me, and bade me be seated.
Turning to the women, he gave them or
ders to prepare supper, he himself taking
my orders for what I wiahed.
All this time I dared not turn my head
or look toward any one bnt the Bishop. I
knew that his oyes were upon me, aud
that his two wives aud daughters were
studying me closely. I was greatly em
barrassed, but withal mauagod to dispose
of a hearty supper, at the conclusion of
which we again returuod to the sitting
room. It was by this time quite dark,
and Ms son, a large, athletic fellow, com
ing In, the Bishop told him to entertain
me, and, at the proper time, show me to
bed. Putting ou his overcoat and a fur
cap. for it was qnJte cold, he bade me
good -night, saying that he was compelled
to attend a ward moeting. Before clos
ing the door, he pointed to the rifle over
head, and said: " Remember, young man,
what I told you."
It was positively Unkind of him to re
mind me of It, for the confounded old gun
was constantly on my mind. I had een
some little of their treacherous work, nnd
had heard much more. I knew what they
were capable of doing, and, under the cir
oumstnnces, dared not disoboy his warn
ing. The door closed and he was gone.
The ladies were seated ou my right, the
son on my left. To make assurance doubly
sure, 1 turned my back to the ladles, and
facing the young man entered into a con
versation with him. One of the ladies
got up and went to the door several times.
Finally she came np behind me, and
I bluntly asked if I was a Mormon t Ihard
i ly knew what to do. I had been warned
j against speaking to or even looking at
j any of the women. Was she trying to
I draw me into trouble She certainly
knew that I had been forbidden to address
! her under the penalty of death. Yet
there she stood, calmly inviting me to my
j fate. The young man's eyes were upon
me. Cireat beads of perspiration started
out on my forehead.
"Do not fear to speak, young man ; he
has gone, and vill not return before mid
night," she said, and at that she laid her
hand n my head.
"It's all right, stranger," said the son.
It's all right; speak up and look around
you as much as you ploase, I'll vouch for
your safety."
The ice was now broken, and, turning
to the old lady, I Bald that I was not a
Mormon.
"Thank God for that ! she said, and
then the conversation lecame general. I
was told all about the heartaches and
sufferings of the first or original wife ;
how in almost every case they had been
deluded into joining the Mormon faith
under false pretences : what shame and
mortification came over them when it
was found that a second or third wife
was to be taken into the household. I
was rather reticent, and I did not ex
press my opinion on the subject as I other
wise would have done. Tlie two daugh
ters were comely and full of life. About
10 o'clock they bid me good night and re
tired. A half hour later I was conducted
to my room by tho young man.
AsceSding a pair of stairs and entering
the door to my right I was somewhat
amazed to nnd myself in the bedchamber
of the young ladles, who had by this time
retired. Their lamp was still bnrning,
and having forgotten all previous warn
ings, I allowed my eyes to roam at will
around the room, and naturally they rest
ed on two dimpled faces beneath snowy
caps. As I was enjoying the scene I was
brought to a realization of my position by
the deep tones ot the youug man, who
snid :
"This way, please," and taking me by
the arm pointed to a bfed 1m an adjoining
room, remarking. " You will sleep there.''
The rooms were connected by a double
doorway. The doors had been dispensed
with, and, consequently, we were virtu
ally in the same room. I was noon snug
ly stowed away, aud as naught divided us
but an imaginary door, my courage re
vived. Situated as I was 1 began to anal
yze my feeliugs. Here I was in the house
of strangers. True, one head of the fam
ily had forbidden me to hold anv commu
nication with the other part, while the
other part of the familv had vetoed the
first injunction, and 1 had oeyed them
both, llere was certainly confidence. It
struck me that the young ladies were ex
ceedingly VlVacious, as they kept up a
constant titter, ana their mnrmurings of
soft nothings wete somewhat embarrass
ing to my sensitive nature. I was just
beginning to congratulate myself on hav
ing so much confidence reposed In me hy
my host, whon what was mv astonish
ment to see the young man dragging a
mattrass into the doorway and make his
bed there. As he was going to lie down
he drew forth a large-sized stx-shooter,
and placing it under his pillow, lay down
to sleep. I was virtually under erres.
There lie lay between me and liberty. All
my dreams of confidence were instantly
knocked into a cocked hat. 1 was not
sorry when the snn arose next morning.

str-ry writer, lives at his ancestral home
In tu CMtskllla. Ifc Is called " fc.fc'lo'e
Nea''and is described as a chnrnuu
place, A nowapaj.or man who visited
there writes as follows :
In reply to my remark that he was re
puted to have mmlo story-wrlMng profit
aide, he said :
" I n;i mt rich, tut T cor.ld live dwently
If I w-.-re to lo no more work. I l,r
earned a heap of money with my pen.
for tn y.r I irnM ;, a year, and
some jo.irs I have i.kud throe or four

with Buffalo BIK I wa cleaned out, and
$la,f.00 behind, hut I wont to writing and

I inquired if he had always wi.tton un
der the nom-de-plunie of " Ned Bunt

my pen-names. I write now nv only aa
'Ned Buntllne,' bnt as ' Lriward Mtn

" You aald you wanted my recipe." con
tinued tho Colonel. "I've not the slight

get a pen and s niio ink uiul a book like
this, with flfvy sheets of blank paper
bonnd up in It, Twelve of these make a

my tttle. That Is the principal thing. It
Is more lni)ortant than anything elso.
I've repeatedly had good stories ruined by
bad title and bad stories saved and made
to go by good title."
I took up a manuscript book that he had
finished and looted at it. It was written
in a delicate baud and every page was a
handsome bit of copy, without an altera
tion. There was ouly one ernsuro in the
first twelve pages, and that only of a sin
gle word for which a better one was sub
stituted. I asked him If he made a plot
In advauee. 1
" No, never," he said. "I pimply take
some character, whose name I have de

The pfory developes itself. I mean that I
never know how a story is coming out, or
what the next chapter is going to relate.
I bring the fictitious characters into exist,
ence and then let them os'iead and work
out their own destinies. Another thing

What I write must stand. If things go
wrong, as they do sometimes. I just throw

Cheerful nen. (
A writer in the weekly supplement of ;
the Detroit Free Press says on the snl
Ject : Cheerfulness freshens the heart and
makes it healthy and vigorous. The
gloom and shadows that pass over the
mind make us wretched, but the Influ
ence of cheerfulness passes over It like
pleasant summer breeze, making creation
glad. Cheerfulness, like mast other tal
ents, is, to a large extent, the aub.toct of
culture, and the preservation and devel
opment of it is a duty we owe alike to 1
ourselves and to society. Cheerfulness j
blunts arrows, rounds the edges of sharp j
swords, secures pure breathing in foul air,
easy digestion and refreshing slumbers.
Cheerfulness is a spring of power and of
pleasure, alike to our physical, our men
tal, and our moral natures. How sweetly
does it retain its serenity amid the storms
of life, when shadowed hy sorrow or peril I
How it cheers the lufirmlties of old age.
In the sweet remembrance and anticipa
tion of meeting those dear ones, whom
we loved on earth, where we shall be sep
arated no more forever. Cheerfulness
smoothes our path and sweetens onr
cup, rendering duty easy and affliction
light. All nature smiles with us, if we
are cheerful aud contented. The birds
sing more sweetly, the trees have richer
foliage, the f-ky more clear, the sun,
moon and stars apiear more beautiful.
It banishes care nnd discontent. I would
rather possess a cheerful disposition than
A gloomy mind and an estate worth five
thousand a year.
Honor to .'to I lie re.
Honor the dear old mother. Tiino has
scattered the snowy flakes of her brow,
plowed deep furrows on her cheeks, but is
she not sweeter and more beautiful now f
The Hps are thin and sunken, but those
are the lips that have kissed many a hot
tear from the childish clfteks, and they
are the sweetest lips in all the worM. The
eye is dim, yet it glows with the soft radi
ance of holy love which never fados. Ah,
yea ; she is a dear old mother. The sands
of life are nearly rnn out, but, feeble as
she is, she will go further and reach down
lower for you than any other upon earth.
Liove her yanderly and cheer hor declining
years with holy devotion.

A fw years ae Mis Jennie Jerome,
the second daughter of Mr. Ixo:;ard W.
Jerome, met Ixird Randolph Churchill at
a dinner in I'aris. Attracted by her beau
ty and tho brilliancy of her ca versation,
he soiui c-iflned his attention to her.
Thos whi sat near them stopped tslking
and Lfctemil to them with undisguised
admiration. Mlsn Jerome was noted for
hiT conversational power, but they had
Tii v.-r s-:ned to her friends as bi-Hllatit as
oi this occasion. T.ord Randolph, ho-.r-
:er, prnved a I'.atch for her. Her satire
was met wi'h sparkhng repartee, and
hor wit and humor for once for.nd a lair
exchange. When the ladies had with
drawn. Lord Randolph turned to a friend
nud s!d enthusiastically:
"That's the brightest woman I ever
met." an 1 added, with the seriousness of
a fatalist, "and I mean te marry her."
Singularly enough, while ho was saying
this. Miss Jerome was making nn almost
Identical remark concerning him to one
other sister IVrhaps that evening she I
playod her favorite t. liopin nocturne more
tenderly and wooingly than ever; at nil
everts, Ixird Randolph was not slow in
diaom-eriug that he had made as deep nn
lmpreseioii on hor as she h.nd on him.
WltUln a fortnight of their llrst meeting
they were enued, and vry soon after-

ambitious temperament has spurred him
on in his political career, and whose in

nints Ato-ut Horses.
It IB not often the c.ise that work ran be
brought out of a horse, as butter ont of a
highly bred Jersey cow, by the oonsnmjw
tlon of enormous nnntnss of fid. -oens
of food weakens a working animal
nnd disables it from work. It iudMces In
digestion, and that Is worse than a sare
diet. The daily ration of an Arab'mn
horse, which carries its rider If) iniloe In
a day, Is six pounds of parched barley,
while the rider eats only a handful of
dates. The Arab and hU horso are both
wiry, sinewy, and muscular animals,
without fat or useless flesh. The same
principle tdiould be followed in feeding
farm horses. A rlld ruie s'lonld l
adopted for feeding, and if a horse Is
worked extra hard upon any occasion H
should be restored by rest and not by the
use of more food thau it can digest, esjiec
ially when the system Is weakened by
overwork.
Worry hurts more than work. Let a
man set out for a twenty-mile walk with
good shoes and well-litting clothes, and lie
will arrive at the end in perfect comfort
and with a vigorous appetite for his rea
sonable meal. But let him walk the
twenty miles with a peg in one shoe, wHh
a galied heel or a wrinkle in his stocking,
or even with cluthes or collar w hich chafe
the skin. He woald 1-e worn down at the
end of five miles. How many poor horses
are thus worn down day after day and
then suffered to 'amp the floor rul night
to fitrht the bloodthirsty flies. Will an ex
tra allowance of oats help the wrotched
beasts? Alas! no; ths foofl may be un
eaten in the feed box the next morning;
bnt the field work must be done, and so
after flvo or six years of work the wretched
animal perishes when it iight have gone
on working to tho age of 2-S had it been
treated cou-ideratelv.
The Fools ot All Dead In Paj-ta.
A matrimonial agent appeared like a

off K.000 w Ith her. She hired a 100:11 and
inserted an advertisement to the t ffuct
that a rich heiress, tho owner of ?e0.0o.),
was anxious to find a husband who would
lie willing to overlook an error committed
in early youth. On the day after this ad
vertisement appeared twenty eligible
suitors applied quite prepared to I e indul
gent for the bygone error in consideration
of the handsome fnrtuuo. The matrimon
ial agent received them sepanrfoly, told
thorn nit sti -N'ould not give the name or
address of the hebess unless I'i0 wf.rj
paid down tn adva:iee. Apparently there
was not a wi-e man among the twenty
applicants, fur they all paid the commis
sion and were sent to various towns in
Frauce with false addresser, and on a
fool's errand. Nineteen of the twenty
victims lacked the courage to communi

braved ridicule in ordsr to be revenged,

Hogs do better without rings when
running at large In pastures. Tho fact is,
healthy hogs on good pasture, with plenty
of grass, don't root much ; but when hogs
get "off their feed." and their digestive
organs are out of order, they begin to
root that is. they do the bet they can to
secure a change of food to bring them
back to a healthy state. In the torn, hog
and cattle counties of the prairie State,
when a bunch of hots begin to root, it is
regarded as one of the first symptoms of
coming cholera, and frequently a sals is
made of them as quick as -ib.e.
The f.lrl Who Laugh.
Good and healthy girls are almost alwnys
cheerful. No novelist would consider his
youthful heroine complete if a "ringing
laugh" were omitted from the list of her
charms, and in real life the girls who do
not laugh now and then are seldom trust
ed or liked by their companions. Kvon
beauty will not stive them. A bo'.lo who
fails to understand the jets of her ad
mirers, and smiles In amiable bewilder
ment while other ieop!e are laughing. Is
soon left with no other consolation save to
wonder what anybody could see in her
rivalry the happy possessor of merry eyes
and a cheerful mind. The gift of fcayety
is indeed a great value: but it must be
gayety which originates In a kind aud
cheery heart, bnt nut that which is born
of mere excitement of gratified vanity.
