I few pjrtraits in oil and some jrood rn
I trra'vinps of an old stvle
The thing that struck me most, how
ever, wai a tall pier-ghvss let into the
wall between two windows. From the
bottom of this, up to within a few
inches of the top, it was painted over
with a thick coating of dark paint, and
xuis was ornaineniea ny a landscape
s..iiiy painted in rather crude colors.
There was another and smaller mirror
in the frame of the clock, and this had
been treated in a similar manner, little
gleams of bright showing here and
there through the dark paint.
I reasoned that the surfacas of the
quicksilver had beea marred either by
time or by dampness a ad that this paint
had lcen put en to cover ur these de
fc t;. and as I was gazing at the ugly
laii.iscape tnc old p-eutleman returned,
bringing his wife and daughter, to whom
he introduced me.
lioth ladies had lovely and refined
faces which differed but little from each
other. Tncr had marked the .lines
deeper upon tint of the cider woman.
ana !u r hair nus white, but both wore
th. same sad. anxious expression, as
though some gTeat sorrow was haugic
over tiicra.
' Mother. I hove brought my young'
inenu m vo see bra, saul the old man.
an 1 1 noticed that a meaning glance
pa-M-d from the ladies as the elder one
replied in a pleading voice: "Father,
Ken ibn t so well to-day. Hadn't you
better wait til! some other time?" "o
no. mother; lien's nil right- All he
needs is. a little cheerful company."
With these words my friend left the
room, motioning- me to follow him.
Wc went across the hall to a small
room furnished very simply. : There
were some eases of books, a leather
Jounce, and a couple of arm-chairs
drawn up before a larire mirror.
Valking proudly to the mirror which
reflected his erect form and handsome
face the old man introduced me to
"JSrother Ben."
Of course I understood it all in a
moment, the painted looking-glasses,
the sad-faced womcQ, and their reluct
ance to allow a stranger to Intrude
upon their sorrow.
1 1 was a complete surprise to me, for
I had never feuspectd the least thing
wrong with my frit-nd, and I had b- i
uevca an his brother lien without a
shadow of doubt. Luckily the
i utercd then, and by their tact rflirrwl
me from my embarrassment.
The old man told me how much he
and lien enjoyed each other's society,
and he complimented lien upon his lip
penrance. "You are looking-well, Ben.
eld toy, and I am pleased to see yon in
bu -h good f-pirits to-day."
Soon the daughter suggested that Ecn

man say; Hen, my boy. you are a trifle

I had a private interview with th
ladies one day, and we decided that

STONEWALL JACKSON'S FIDDLE.
it
W More- 11 moult to Slaate-r Than
lja4Jt-uiiat lea.
When Jackson first entered West
Point he was regarded as a remarkably
stupid and green youth. General Whit
ing, who afterward served in tho Con
federate army, -was then a cadet in tbe
class above Jackson's and was ap
pointed to ask him some questions in
mathematics, in accordance with the
custom which th?n prevailed at the
military academy. Whiting thought
him at first remarkably dull, but no
ticed that he studied and worked with
dogped persistency. The class of which
Wilcox and Whitintr were, members was
graduated just prior to the Mexican
war. Sa-veral of the young ot'leers were
in Washington on their way to Mexico,
and on the night of their arrival they
were invited to go with Jefferson Davis,
then a member of the House, to a re
ception given at the White House.
Later both Davis
and T. J. Jackson
turned their faces toward the Dio
Urande. At the close of the war Jack
son ranked every member of his class
and was a Urevet Major, and was sta
tioned on Governor's Island, near New
York. Whiting. Wilcox and a number
.-f young oflicaTs were visiting New
York, and when several brother oflicrra
;nmi Governor's Island called on them
Whiting asked:
"What has leoarae of 'JCm Jackson;
ia he getting on?
-'liadly, badly, replied the officer;
" nee he has stopped fightinjj he has
taken to fiddling. He came over to
this city a few weeks ago and
leitjght a fiddle, several bows and
a jp'le of resin. You wilt remein-In-r
at West Point there was no
ntisi-? in hia soul, no poetry, &o relaxa
tion, nothing but hard application to
his text-books. So his new fad makes
it awfil for us. Every minute he can
spare lie devotes to pricticing on the
liddie. jind the sou mis which fill the bar
racks in his vicinity are beyond descrip
tion almost beyond endurance."
"Re patient,' aid Whitinjr, -with a
smile; "if Tom . Jackson ia determined
to master bis violin you'll listen ;to a
;ceond Pafranin.. before he gives up."

How a Fault-Findinsr Husband

'I wouldn't have ba-lieved it of you.

Tucker had told me; and Kety, she
never told a lie no more than George
Washington did.
"Why, mother, what are you talking
about?" questKined Mrs. Thomas Ed
monstone, uutyino; the elder lady's bon
net strings ami relieving her of a splint
basket, a black silk bag. a waterproof
cloak and an .mbrc!la,
"And I've come to see if it's true,"
udded the old lady.
"If what's true, mother?
"That yon naid you wished there
wasn't no such person as in me!" fal
tered Mrs. 12dmon.-r.tone.
"Mother, you know I never could
have said such a thing!" cried out
Kacln-1.
"Well, it wasn't eractly that: but
Kety Tucker heard you say you wi-.hed
there was no such a thing- as a mother-in-law."
"Oh!" cried Rachel, with a hysterical
little laugh, "I plead gaiilty. I did say
that. Kut oh: mother! it was under
such strong provocation, and I never
meant you. l!ow could I, when you
have always Imcu so good to ine?"
"I knew it couldn't be true." said
Mrs. Edmoustouo. settling herself in
the easiest rocking-chair and molding
her cap-strings comfortably. "Kut how
came you to make that ex-tra-or-dinary
speech, Kaehel, about mothers-in-law-in
general'.'"
"!t was Tom.' said the young wife,
"lie was so aggro veting!"'
"Thomas always was aggravating,"
said Mrs. Edmonstonc. stirring the cup
of tea that Kachcl had brought her.
"And what was it about now? The
breakfast cakes?"
"Oh. yoa remember about the break
fast cakes, don't you?" said Kachel,
with merry mischief sparkling in her
eyes. "No, it wasn't the breakfast
cakes this time; it was the shirts.'
"The shirts?"
Well, you know he said It wasnch
a wasteful, extravagant proceeding to
buy shirts ready-made," explained
Rachel. "He said the linen was poor,
and the work regular slop-shop style,
and he dec!arfd you always used to
make his shirts at home, every stitch,
before he was married.
"So I did,: acknowledged Mrs. Ed-
monstone, with a groan. 'Rut that
was in the old times, before yon could
buy such a pood article as they have
now."
"Yes. but Tom dftesn't maka anv al
lowance for difference in times and cus
toms," sighed Kachel. "He wanted
home-made shirts, and home-made shirts
he would havt!"
"And you made m?"
"Yes, I made them."
"You were a Treat goose," reflective
ly spoke Mrs. Edmonstone.
"And anil Tom swore dreadfully the
nrst time nc put -one on
'I don't in the least donbt it.
"And he said they set like meal bags.
and that they twisted his neck around
as if he had Jost been handed, and
"Trapped him on the shoulders like a po
liceman: Oh, I can t tell yon what he
.av'idn t say!"
"Kless me!" said .Mrs. Edmonstone.
"He told me his mother's shirts set
Here a glove, and fined him perfectly
and why couidn t I turn out a shirt like
those? And it was then, mother dear,"
suddenly flinging her arms smund the

"Thomas forgets," observed Mrs. Ed

"And lam sure, if things po on like

brown curls off her forehead, "it will
end in a separation on account of 'in
compatibility of tafmper.'"
"No, it won't, my denr," said the
mother-in-law. "Here, get me the pat

Once more the mischievous light cam
into Rachel's bright blue eyes.
"I wish all the world were mothers-in-law"
she cried gleefully. "Why

"One can't think of every thing,

from hnsiness.

"We can havo some of the nice old
fashioned dishes now. Rachel can't
seem t get the hang of them, although
she has always had your book of re
cipes to guide her."
Rachel's a good deal better cook
than ever I pretended to la'." said Mrs.
Edmonstone. "They have patent e;rg
leaters and crearu-whippers and raisin
seeders, and all that sort of thing now,
that they didn't have in my day. I
never tasted nicer bread than Rachel
makes, .and these pop-overs are deli
cious." "You're just saying that to encourage
Rachel," said Mr. Edinonstne, with an
incredulous smile. "Things will run
smooth now you've come. That's one
comfort."
"Oh, 1 shouldn't think of interfering
in Rachel kitchen." said the old lady.
"Please do, mother." coaxed the wife,
not without a certain quiver in her lip.
"Do let Tom have a reminiscence of the
old days while you are here."
Well, just as you children say,"
conceded the mother-in-law, good-humort-dly.
She remained a week at her son's
house, during which periiid of time Tom
was all exultant complacency.
"This," said he. "is something like
living. I feel myself a lxr again when
I taste these apple-fritters."
"They're not had." said Rachel, who
had made them with her own skillful
hands. And she helped herself to a little
of the sauce.
"And why didn't you learn my moth
er's knack of making such pie-crust as
this?" demanded Tom. There's no dys
pepsia here."
"I'm glad you're pleased," said
Rachel, with a guilty fflancc at her
mother-in-law. "Oh. Iwr the way, Tom,
the last of the set of shirts is fini.-,hed
now. Will you put it on to-morrow?"
'I suppose so," ungraciously uttered
Tom. "Will set like fury, I dare say,
like all th.' rest of them"
"You might at least give it a trial."
"Didn't I say I would?" still more un
graciously. "Those shirts will le the
death of me yet." he added, turning to
his mother with a groan, while Rachel
sat steadily observing the pattern of
the tablecloth.
The breakfast stood smoking on the
table next morning when Mr. Edmon
stone came into the room twisting him
self as if he were practising to be a
human corkscrew. Mrs. Edmonstone
glanced timidly up at him.
"Itoesn't it fit, Tom?" she questioned
"Fit! Just look at it, will you?" he
retorted. "Fit! Hangs like a window
curtain around my neck pinches my
wrist like a pair of handcuffs! I feel as
if I were in a strait-jacket" writhing
impatiently to and fro. "Oh. I might
have known it beforehand. You
haven't an idea what the word fit
means. I wish, mother, you could teach
this wife of mine now to make a decent
shirt!"
"Thomns. said Mrs. Edmonstone sol
emnly, transfixing him with the glisten
ing spheres of her spectacle glasses,
"yon are not very polite. made that
shirt."
"You. mother!"
"Yes. I myself. Just as I used to
make shirts for you in the old times
that you're always sighir.g after. I've
been working at it ever since I've beea
in the house. Throw away the pattern,
Rachel, and don't waste any more time
trying tu make your husband's shirts,"
Flie added. "It's an economy of time
and temper, as well as f money, to buy
them ready-made. And as for the cook
ing you have been praising up so elo
quently all the time I've been here,
Tom, I haven't touched a pot or a pan.
It's aH your wife's work. So much for
imagination! Oh, yon needn't hang
your head so sheepishly; you're neither
le tter nor worse than most men." went
on Mrs. Edmonstone. "I never saw the
man yet that didn't need to hear a little
whoh-somo trrth now and then. You've
got the best and sweetest little wife in
the world."
"Mother!" pleaded Rachel, trying to,
put her hand over the old larly's mouth,
but Mrs. Edmonstone resolutely per
sisted:
"AnJ it's my advice to yon to try to
treat her as she deserves."
"I 1 don't know but I have been
rather cranky of late," said Tom, self
conscionslv, "now that I come to think
of it"
"Cranky! I should think so," said
the old lady. "I'm sure I don't know

mother, with a II1 1'..- ;bi Ii.
"Ia pure inat!u-:natic. Mary, j.i jrure

"but in the applied article he was
lamentably weak."
What Alan's mother might hnve re

Alan's experiment in whi -h th.- cat
suddenly ceased to le a passive arent.
Ky and by, when Alan had bathe. i the
scratches on his hand und convinced
himself that th" wound on his car was
only a superficial one. he s;.id: "Give
me an example, uncle."
"Ccrtaiioy." said iiio-le. affably; "'add

Alan worked away for a minute and
then asked: "What is the answer,

Alan, you h.o'e the answer, or.ly your
way of doing it is a little peculiar."
"It took you a long time to do it,
uncle."
"Yes. the light was bad. I couldn't
see the figures very well. You could
improve on your figures, Alan."
Give ine aiii.tl.tr. uncle, please.
Make up a tough oi:c, can t you?"
"All rvhL John and James you'd
letter writethisdown John and James
had 20 cents letwocn them; John
bought three apples at In cents each:
James lotight a jack-knife with four
blades; for the big blade be paid 4 cents;
for the little blade, cents: for the
file blade. 5 cents: for the blade with a
nick in it. S. cents, and for the handle
twice as much. How much money did
they have left?"
"Twice as much as what?"
"Twice as much n why twice as
much as for the little blade, of cours.
That is wliat I said. Now, how much
did they have left?"'
Nobody ever bought a knife that
way."
"Probably not, but that is npplied
mathematics, applying prino;ples to
every-day transactions such as you will
engage in when you get older. Still,
perhaps, that is a little too far along
for you?"
"Oh! I can do it easy enough," said
Alan, and he went to work. In a few
minutes he began to look puzzled; then
be asked: "What do you waut to
know?"
"How much they had left?"
The puzzled look grew as the figures
multiplied. " hy," said the boy, final
ly, "they wouldn't have any thing left.
They would owe. or James would owe.
1.V0 cents on the knife, or John would
have to give up kudc of the apples."
"Eh?" said uncle, w ith a start; "how's
that?"
Alan went carefully over the problem
step by step, and, as he proceeded,
uncle's confidence in himself disap
peared, and in its wake ran embarrass
ment and humiliation. Kut uncle has
not lived two score and more years in
this world of perplexities for nothing,
and when he was led to see that Alan
was right uncle was himself agaia.
"Ah, yes," he said, "you are quite right,
my boy, entirely right. I was wonder
ing if you would find it ouL"
''Rut I don't understand how there can
be any thing left."
"There isn't." said uncle, composedlv.

It is well for you to mingle theory with
practice, an excellent idea, indeed."
The paper behind which the face of
Alan's mother was hidden was shaking
and there was a look ou her face of
merriment struggling with mild indig

that he had craw led through a very

used to question Martin about tho aHair,
