ETHEL'S TRIALS.
It was only a scanty coal ilr.Uii seen threugh
the open glide it Uvvkod bright and ehcery , and
danced and sparkUtl on after a fashion of ;U
owu, as if trying to put a hroad ©mile on in
spit© of fate. The room was jflaiu and sunUr
enough in other resjavl* ; the floor only half
<Mvn\t with strip* of cheap earivting, the tur
niture and U kMigings all of the simplest char
acter. Ethel Hammond sat sewing busily, hor
dark hair halt in shadow.
Theiight ju*i glancing up.® her facnahowed
it (Uile ami grave, the lips beautiful in Ihvir
curt©, falling weardv apart, and the long bUck
tashos almost touching the i.mmtrsi cheeks
"Hi© faint rustle of her work and the oeca

that l>roke the dnM. It *sai trtill that lUwe.

ik'iousnees of her poaiion, aud was in w-iiw
danger of finding said curls caught and nu
iwisouod bv a httie tongue of flaaie. saucier than
it* fellow*.'
She sighed heavily. Ethel's dark lashes wvrv
slowly raised, revoahng wondrous, hivwly ©ye©
of clearest brown.
" What i* the matter, jwt?'
"Oh. Ethie "—with another sigh "I have
been thinking how different everything i* from
what it used to b*. Wlien we hvesl ui our old
homo. I tuean. and father and mother wer\
alive, and tiobert was there, and we were ail
*0 happy together! Don t you rwroemtwr what
dear good time* we used to have in the large
parlor, before Rob, went off ? And now he i
gone, and father and mother "—*b© stopjx-d *
moment, but -o>hi resumed —" and you have
to work so hard ail the tuue, and oh. deer,
everything is dull and lonely ! We never eeem
to have anv good tunes now. I think even Ju>
feel* the difference, looking fondly down at the
little brown sjaubel m hi-r lap.
She was j nt hftiug her head when Ethel
spike again.
** Rose, how should you like to go away
from here into a large house all our own. with
handsome furniture such a* we used to have if
And go to a good school, and have nice clothe.-
and new plaything*. Wouldn't it be peasant .'
- And Rob. r
Ethel made a quick gesture.
•• Rob. wouldn't have anything to do with it.
He is away."
•' Bat isn't he coming home, to bring u# all
these uee thing# "i I thought that was what
TOO meant. Ethic. Dout von know the night
before he went a war. hew be told what hand
some present* he was going to bring home, and
the gay tune# we would have ?"
" Huh. childinterrupted Ethel, suddenly,
growing very pale. "That was a long tune ago.
Robert must have forgotten all about us before
this, or he woakl have written."
44 I doat believe it T retorted Rose, übg
nautiy.
Ethel's eyes grew rtfll more troabled.and ahe
pat her hand on her heart, with a sodden. ■.puck
gaP
--'• If I could! if I only could !"* she said to
herself.
" Who is going to give n* these things.
Ethie ?" she said at last. " Have any of the
men father owed been good, and let us have
the money ? Mr. Howe said one of the debts
would have been enough for us to live on, only
the man wanted everv cent."
•• And I wanted he should have it. Our
father's name never should suffer, though it
left us poorer than we are now. No. Rose, that
is not it. but—you know Mr. Woodward." She
hesitated, and. iu spite of herself, the scarlet
blood mounted to her brow.
" He is rich, and he ha# asked me to marry
him."
" I don't think it would be right for you to
give up Rob. and marry that old, homely-looking
man. EtheL"
To save her life Ethel could not have met
the reproachful gaze of those great, serious
eye*.
She looked down as she said : " Yes, Rose,
I am going to be married to Mr. Woodward, and
this is BIT engagement ring."
Rose did tint speak a word, but for the first
time since their double orphanage, she failed to
return her water's good-night less.
It was a bright June day when the sisters
entered the new home of which Ethel was
henceforth to be mistress. If anything could
have made her thoroughly happy, it would
have been the tender anxiety which Mr. Wood
ward had shown that all hose's childish de
sire# should be gratified.
Six months of her wedding life went by, and
found her at the close peaceful, mtent,"gTow
ing daily more satisfied with her life ami iu
duties. '*
The winter holidays <lrew near. Ro*e re
leas.il from school di-apiine, ws like a bird
set free. She went dancing end singing about
the boose. working busily et odd moment* on
T anon * manufacture* of her own intended fur
surprise present*.
"It ia so nice to be rich, and give so many
iwmbt a • Merry Christmas.'" Rose said, de
lighted.
Ethel never forgot one incident of all that
bright, joyons. happy time. For ere the New
Year's day she had welcomed in so gayly came
to a close*. Rose lay feverish and re-tiess on her
conch with th first symptom- of what proved
to be a malignant fever. Hbe had probably
caught it in someone of the poor neighbor
hoods they had visited.
Night and day Ethel watched by her side,
one fear ever in. her heart, one prayer ever on
her lip*: "Save her-spare her/ oh, God."
A vain prayer, for He denied it. There came a
morning when Ethel taw her darling's face
with only the light of day resting on it, the
dark eves rleatd. and the lips whereof die
pressed wiid kisses, cold and breathless.
Nor waa that alb Mr. Woodward who had
watched nnremttttagiv in the room, waa him
self taken down with the disease the very day
that Hose was boned. Ethel came home from
the grave where her sweetest hopes perished to
take her place as watcher by another sick bed.
Not for lung ; the fever made mare rapid pro
gress here. In lees than a week, the strong
man was a corpse, and Ethel, utterly crushed by
this new blow, was left alone in the world.
Alone to meet poverty no lee* than rorrow.
Mr. Woodward had made no will since hia
marriage. An old one dated some yearn back
left his jwoperty all to distant relatives who
were not slow in taking possession. H.vrd.
money making people, none to well pleaaed
with the marriage in the first place, they had
no scruple, in taking from the young widow
all that the law allowed, even though it left her
nearly penniless.
So "from the elegant boose with it* luxurious
appointments, Eutel went back to one small
room, simply furnished with what little she
could honestly call her own. Here, alone,
despairing, she took up the burden of life
again, and recommenced her old routine of
daily labor.
She came home one evening more than usual
ly weary. It was a cold, wet night, and- she
was chilled through from a long walk, carrying
home her work.
" She grow* more lovely every dsv with that
little, sweet, grieved mime," said Mrs. Hill to
herself as she entered to announce a caller,
" a strange geufleman who's been here twice
before ainco yon went ont."
"Some one to. see about work probablv.
Will yon ask him up. please ?"
She rose languidly, took off her things, and
just smoothed tier hair without looking in the
glass. She was hanging up her cloak, when a
step in the doorway made her turn and look
round.
A gentleman, tall, brown and heavily bearded,
stood there looking at her.
"Excuse me. Will yon please be seated?"
fihe said, offering bun a chair.
He sat down without speaking, and after
waiting a moment for him to do so, she in
quired hesitatingly:
" Do you wish some work done, sir
A quick smile broke over his face, and gave
a new light to the clear, sparkling, black eves.
"Ethie!'
She started, gave one wild, eager look—and
how it was, she never knew, but good Mrs. Hill
panging by a moment after, saw through the
open door a sight that surprised her not a
little—her favorite boarder clasped in the arms
of the strange gentleman, and nobbing away as
if her heart wonld break, with her head rest
ing on bis shoulder.
Thank heaven, darling, I have found yon
at last!" was liobert's first exclamation. "I
had beguu to think you were lost to me for
ever." Ethel Hammond's trials were over then.
Fall of a Mountain in France.
A mountain at Saint Foy, in the de
portment of Savoie, France, has fallen.
Home days previous indications of the
state of the mountain were observed by
the inhabitants of the district, but be
fore they had time to retreat, the first
crash took place, destroying several hill
side hamlets. After the- first disastrous
movement of earth a series of landslips
took place, totally burying several other
small villages. The number of hamlets
which have disappeared in ruins is about
ten, and the rumbling noise with which
each additional fall is accompanied is
heard at a distanoe of eight miles. The
inhabitants have been able to escape
with their liyes, but the km* of proper
ty is enormous.
A WESFEHATK IN HI AM FIGHT.
Minora Krpnlalna " Man.l nl alow* line
Itnntlroil unit HUiron llrnioa Hlllrd.
On© of the moat sanguinary fights with
Indians, so far as th© number of wluto
men engaged in it is ©onocrnod, that wo
have any rnvrvl of, tsik place recently
near the south fork of the Little Mis
aouri, according to a Hluok Hills fsipor,
which gives tho following vuiut of tho
affair:
Tho facts, as wo gleaned them from
one of the participants, who reached
Gayvillo, and is now stopping with his
former partner, aro as follows: Aland
two weeks ago a party of ninety-eight
men and two ladies made tip of jvartua
from Dwadwood, tlayrill© and other ad
jacent cantpu, Ktartel for tho Hig Horn
country, with riding and pack animals.
Ouo week after, in tlio aftermavn, when
uearing tho linitiw of the south fork of
tho Little Missouri, they discovered a
large bam! of Indians dismounted, tlio
latter having their ponies off a couple of
miles from where tlioy wore oeu. Hie
miuors, iintioipatmg an sttaok, imme
diately t*H>k their shovels, each mau
throwing up a breastwvirk from which
lit could tight to I>ottor advuntsg©. At
three r. m. tlio Indians in large nnmliers
iMintuonotvl tho atuwk by several feiut*
tlio minors, reserving their main
charge until abont five i\ v. By this
time the minors wore ilnsv ughly organ
ir#*l, ouch ono unpacking lua animal.
The lmlsana ohargsl on the minora on
foot, at ou© time approaeliiug within
varvia of th© ©ntreneJied miners. Th©
latter poured round after round of a
murderous fir© into tlio Indiana from
behind their bieastwork. Fiir a time
the fight was extremely hot, tho Indiana
displaying more than their usual iliaore
insi, but the wollilnvs't©)! ami effective
tire from tho well-armtal minors was ill
ooasant and death dealing for several
hours, when tho Indians withdrew.
After tho tight it was discovered that
fourteen of th© luiuerw wore killed, all
of them, with one, exception, beiug shot
in the head. Kight<©ii "f tho minors'
animals were kilhvl or wounded sutfi
(sently to render them useless. l>n©
hundreil and sixteen Indian IhslUw lay
>. i the Imttle tielil as a trophy of the tiu
erring uiarkniauaiup of the minors. The
ndiau horses that were oil" from the
larger herd and closer to the minora
were pioktvl off by th© long mug© ride©
of tho miners. Tue only portion* of the
miners' lashes that were exposed were
their hemls, * they fired from behind
their teiujuUHry earth breastworks. Ou
the next morning, after a redistribution
of the |uoka of the animals killed, the
party proceeded ou their journey. As
they are de-m iu of ki-epuig tlie atfcur
quiet, so as uot t y discourage tho several
largo parties now organising here for the
Hig Horn country, the fight was kept
from the public. Our informant was
three days making th© return trip to
Gayville.
A Shrewd Swindle.
Samuel Wheeler is a fanner in a small
way in the Berkshire hills, in Massachu
setts. Some two or three weeks ago,
while at work ou his farm, lie was ap
proached by a well-dressed, genteel and
suave stranger, who introduced himself
as an attorney from Albany county.
" Your name is Wheeler," says the "at
tornev." " Yes," was the n-epouse.
Then the "legal light " went on to tell
him that Amos Burton, of New Scotland,
had died less than a year ago, and left
behind him two magnificent farms in
Now Scotland, valued at Jio.OUD each,
which were awaiting the coming forward
of the next of kin to claim them. The
*'attorney," in his off-haml. persuasive
way, went ou to show the hitherto con
tented tiller of the Massachusetts soil,
that he, and he only, was the next of
kin, and bv the laws of right as well as
consanguinity was entitled to tlio posses
sion of the lordlv estate.
The iiait took. Although astonished
bv his unexpected good fortune at first,
visions of life as a landed proprietor on
a large scale succeeded, and W heeler ea
gerly asked the details as to when aud
how he could get the necessary informa
tion so as to take immediate possession.
The little preliminary of a fee must first
be )>aid let the trouble the aUormy hail
taken to apprise him of bis gi>*l fortune,
for expenses incurred, and the SIOO de
manded was quickly handed over.
"Write to the surmigate at Albany,"
was the injunction of the "attorney,"
and he will furnish full particulars, or
you may cull at his office and examine
his records for yourself." With that Uie
attorney departed, promising to return
in a few days with additional proof. The
few days passed, no " attorney " ap
peared, and Wheeler, preferring to satis
fy himself rather than write, extracted
more money from his hard earnings, and
oatue t* Albany, onlv to find that he hail
been duped. His chagrin and mortifica
tion at learning that he lnni been victim
ized was great, but he departed much
wiser than he entered, and will not in
future look, as next of kiw, for the estate
of persons whom he had never heard of
before.
The Cossack and lli> White Scarf.
The Coesaek cavalrymen are all com
paratively young men and have young
wives. Whenever they set out on a
campaign, they buy a white scarf or
handkerchief to take with them. At the
close of their period of service, they re
turn to their villages and are met by the
whole population. Now a wife who has
been unfaithful to her lord, kneels down
before him in the road, puts her face in
the dust, snd places her hnshund's foot
upon her neck. This is a confession of
; guilt, and at the same time a prayer for
1 forgiveness. If the husband then covers
his wife's head with the white scarf, it
means thai he forgives her and agrees to
forget her fault. If the white handker
chief is not produced,the woman returns
straight to her father's house without
again entering her husband's dwelling,
and a divorce is pronounced. A war cor
respondent recounts a tragical story
which a soldier told him on the Danalx*.
A returning Cossack was informed by a
malicious neighbor before he readied
his home that his wife had been unfaith
ful. Hia comrades perceived that he had
alt of a sudden taken to drink and dissi
pation, althongli lie was not a man given
to these vices. When he reached his
village hia wife, as he feared, came for
ward, knelt down, and put lier face in the
dust at his feet. The s{*ect&t>rH saw him
look at her as she lay in the dust for a
long time. Two or three, times he put his
hand in his breast for the white hand
kerchief us if he were going to cover the
repentant woman's head—two or three
times the movement was restrained.
Finally,as if driven by a sudden impulse,
he drew his sword, and with one stroke
severed lier head from her body. The pun
ishment for the crime was two months'
imprisonment, while the malicious neigh
bor who had taken the trouble to inform
him beforehand of his wife's misconduct
was sentenced to Siberia for three
years.
IVhat an Old Official Said.
A Washington correspondent writes:
The other day I heard a cabinet minister
talking to a young chap who wanted a
place. "My young friend," said he,
"don't apply. Saw wood, drive cows,
anything honorable, but preserve your
independence. I have a man in my de
portment who has been in forty years."
" Forty years?"
" Yes, every day of it. He came in in
1836. Well, he gets about the same
salary he had to commence with. The
other day he came to me, saying: ' I
ought to have died forty years ago.'
'You don't mean that,' I said. 'Yes,'
said he, ' I mean that. I have been
buried in this building forty years, and
I hail just as well been boned in the
grave. What's the difference between
tombs ? Of what advantage have I been
to myself in here ? I had nothing when
I came in, and have got nothing now. I
am disqualified for anything. If I was
turned out to-day I would starve to-mor
row. ' So much for a government posi
tion that youug meu are so anxious to get.
They hail better let it alone."
DRINKING AT MEALS. —Whoever drinks
no liquids at meals will add years of
pleasurable existence to his life. * Of cold
or warm drinks, the former are the most
pernicious; drinking at nieaje induces
persons to eat more than they otherwise
would, as any one can verify by experi
ment,

Oue Man'* Failure.
The following story of a wealthy man's
colossal fortune utul the manner of hi*
riiiu is from the pen of a Nf* Vork cor
respondent:
One of the heaviest re.il estate men
has been umler the harrow for some
mouth*. To-day he lias übauiloiicd tiie
tight, and given up everything to his
creditors. He was a very (ucvawful
cotton broker. All the money he made
he put iuto real estate. Hi* revenues
were very large. His uicume was eight
huiulred thousand dollars a year. t)ne
building, near Trinity church, yielded
him a rental of ninety thousand dollars
per annum. Everything he touched
turned to gold. tie was loaded dowu
with cotton. One day a merchant
handed him a cheek of three hundred
thousand dollars to cancel a oontruet.
He took it. Witiiin ku ilays cott*>u
surged up and hcaxiiade a fortune. He
owned an elegant house on Fifth avenue.
He crowded it with paintings ami works
of art. Not contented with this he was
induced by a speculator to take hold of
a railroad. He bought lunula at sixty.
S<*on after they wi ut down to fortv, and
tiie gentleman bought all he could lay
hands on. He took the rood. He pro
posed to run it. He found it tin finished.
He equipped it; spent three hundred
thousaiiil dollars iu locomotive* and roll
ing shek. Hum came to him M it oomcs
to every one wlio dabbles 111 outside
matters. The panic completed his
demoralization. His tine New York
property was mortgaged for more than
it was worth. To-day he has ceased to
struggle. Few men will be warned and
few men will be wiser for all this. Here
is a man who a few mouths ago hud a
royal income of eight hundred thousand
dollars a veer. He wanted to make it n
million. To-day he is hopelessly bank
rupt.
A Good Woman.
At the top of the stairs eh**! n thin,
sharp-far<\l woman, wearing a dirty, faded
alpaca dress, with the ileerw rolled tip,
who ask<'d in a jocular manner the officer
if he was nfter her. Upon receiving an
answer in the negative, she leal the wu y
iuto the apartment. Its interior was
somewhat better than that of its neigh
lx>r*,an.l evidently its occupant had seen
better days. Hut dirty walls, broken
plastering, crocked furniture,all attestxl
the extreme poverty. At the back of a
room wns a door, which, when opened,
looked out on the alley, twenty feet or
more below. Across the door were
nailed strips of ltoard to prevent the
children from falliug out. Returning
to the other room, the woman turned
to the swarm of children and cried, in a
shrill voice:
" For gracious sake get out of here;
why are you all hanging here in that
way ?"
" Are any of these yours ?" asked the
reporter.
"Not a hit of it. Mine's growed up.
I'm takiu' care of a couple of little ones.
Their mother died of consumption last
week. The poor critter laid sick for
weeks up stairs, with no one to take keer
of her 'eopt myself, and 'fore slu died
she wanted her husband to go 011 house
keepin' and get some one to take care of
the children. So when she died I took
'em, ami I'm takin' care of 'era till their
father gets work and a home for 'em,and
I shan't charge him anything. The little
girl's sick, an' I don't know what ails
her." And this woman, surrounded bv
abject poverty, with but little for her
self, was, without hope of reward in
this world, supporting and caring for
two children 01 a stranger.— Cleveland

A Rooster with u Wooden Leg.
On the farm of Alfred Moore, of
Moore's Mills, in this county, aaVßthe
Eagle, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., is a
rooster wan no unfortunate aa to
lone a leg just below the llrat joint. The
wound, however, healed, IUHI the roost
er managed with difficulty to make hia
way from place to place, '["his summer
a voting man from this city with Mr.
Moore became interest*'<i in tfie case and
resolved to devote his genius to the
cause in the hope of improving the
means of locomotion for the rooster. Ho
having capture! the fowl, measure
ments were made and a wooden leg fit
ted on to the stump. But it did uot
stay on. Calling into consultation an
elderly lady in the family, an improved
leg was constructed ami secured to the
stump of the rooster, this time with suc
cess. After frantic endeavors on the
rooster's part to kick it off, which only
made him fall down, he accepted the sit
uation and now uses the leg successful
ly. The young man hna received the
congratulations of his friends, and no
doubt would receive the thanks of the
rooster was not he (therooster) deprived

Truths (Juoerly Told.
Science is a flrst-rato piece of furni
ture for a mail's tipper chamber, if he
has common sense on the ground floor.
Advice is like a doctor's pills; how
easily he gives them—how reluctantly
he takes them, when his turn comes.
Home injudicious folks, instead of en
couraging the highlv-charged mind and
heart, in blowing orif verse and bombast,
would sit on the safety-valve.
Truth gets well if she is run over by
a locomotive, while error dies of lock

The girl* iKvttpiiwl three different rtautia
on tlie *ixth Story, ami alwiut eleven
o'clock, after they hmi nil retired itnd
moat of them wore asleep, a eat came,
acruU'hcd ngnuint the d<w>rn tuid moaned
pitifully. A* u cut had never Imfnre
ueeit aeeti in thut pert of the house many
of the girl* were frightened.
l.utaio Leary, a girl wtrougly atiper
*t it 1011* in Iter inclination*, woke up the
other inmatcn of the room in whieh *he
alepl, and told thein there wan a eat at
the door iietmg nlruugely, and *he oonld
not drive it away. She exprerutod a Im
lief that it wiut the ntgu of Mimctluug
terrible going to happen, at which the
other girl* laughed ami ridiculed Iter.
When they opened the door the cat
mewed but refused to come in, mid in a
moment retreated down the hail a* if
Innlly frightened.
Alwuit twelve o'cliM'k all the gtrlw in
that room were awakened by the tioine
of cut* at the d,w>r. Ou oiieutng the door
they diacovered four feline* crouching
ugnuiHt and Hcratching the wall, and
UHMUiing low, tui if iu terror. They pro
cured a broom and endeavored to drive
the dtnturbcrw down tlie hall toward tlie
wtuirwuy leading to the floors below, but
they refuaixl to go tu that direction.
While making the effort to ilrive them
atvav the door of the inljoiutug ri oiu,
w here the otlier girl* alept, wu* otieneil,
whereitjHin the , it* ma.leu frantic ru*h
into the rvw.m, tlew under tlie tied*,
where they crouched together. By this
time a doge!i of the girl* were awake and
highly excited over the strange actum of
the cut*.
The cat* refused to move from their
|sKUtiou under the lied, neither blows
nor |>er*uaive cull* having any effect on
them. All the cat* were reMg!uxsl a*
those lielougiug in the cellars and on the
lower floors, where they were used a*
mouuers, and their audden advent to the
aixth ll.sir, together with their unac
countable action*, very naturally aroused
the fears uf the servants, iuid the more
nervous ones could hardly Is' persuaded
to retire to bed again, It wa* oineludetl
to allow the i-at-. to remain under the
Ix-ils, and in a half hour quiet wo* again
restored. When the alarm of tire caiue
the cuts were atill uuder the lasl, crouch
ing, and there they stub I until the girls
were rcaeued by the memorable courage
of Michael ll*t r.
It is s.ud that all tlie girls now have a
firm belief that the visit of the cats wa*
a warning of imuendingdauger, and thut
they w#re sent there by some mysterious
agency to give a timely premonition.
The proper theory, doubueaa, i that
occupying that par! of tlie lower build
ing where tlie tire Unit atarhxl, and where
it spread and groautvl ami crocked in a
smothered way, perhaps for hours lefore
the general alarm was given, the cat*
lieeame terror-stricken and *ought safety
by flight to tlie upper storn-a. They
stopped ut the qn rvant girls' room* ln>-
caus that was tlie highest point that
could IH< reached.
The Meek Man a Victor.
There are some meek-faced and ten
der-hearted men in tins city of lletroit,
says the i'rtY /*r-*n. 'I here is one in par
ticular who owns a house and lot tu the
eastern part of the otv. Another citi
son, wliosa face doesn't betray uix-kn-s,
owns a v.unlit lot next to huu, and a few
dais ago he wanted to buy tlie uieek-fnced
man out ami build a factory oovering
U>th lots. Tlie figure* were too high,
and he weut away feeling mad and re
vengeful. t'ouiuig across a sliowman
who wanted to act up his tent ami ex

About the time the showman was ready

Farmers' Needs.
Mind must Ik> the emancipator of the
fanner. Science, intelligence, machin
ery—these must liberate the white boud
men of the soil from their long slavery.
When I look back and see what has lain
doue for the farmer within ray •brief
memory, 1 am full of hope for the futnrc.
The plow, under the hand of science, is
become a new instrument. The horse
now hoes the com, digs the potatoes,
mows the grass, rakes the liny, reaps
the wheat and thrashes and winnows it ;
and every day add> new machinery to
the farmer's atoc'., to supennsle the
clumsy implements which once lioumi
him to his hard and never-ending toil.
When a farmer 1 egitis to use machinery
and study processes of other men, ami
to apply his miml to farming so far as lie
can make it take the place of muscle,
then he illuminates his calling with a new
light, ami lifts himself into the dignity
of a man. If mind once gets the npper
hand it will serv. itself and see that the
body iH properly oared for. Intelligent
farming is dignified living. For a farm
er who reads ami thinks, and studies and
applies, nature will open tlie storehouses
of her secrets, and point the way to a life
full of dignity aud beauty, and grateful
and improvable leisure. —J. U. Holland.
An KngNli ( enteiiurian.
Mr. Morgan, an Englishman of 107
years of nge, celebrated hie last birtli
tlay at the Star and darter, Richmond,
surrounded by sixty-seven of his poster
ity, which numbers 102 iu all. Mr. M<>r
gnn was five yi-ars old when Burke de
livered his speech on conciliation with
America. He was seventeen when (lib
lam wo# penning the last page of "The
Decline and Fall" nt liaiisaniie. Four
generations of statesmen have during
Ilia life successively come and disap
peared. He wns eight years ohl when
Chatham fell fainting at hia post. He
waa it boy when "The Rivals" was hiss
ed off the stage, ami he was eighteen
when Sheridan (lushed off from a tavern
to deliver hia speech on the OudeCharge.
He can remember the time when Napo
leon was serving under Rugonimier, and
he waa twenty-four when the bloody
head of Danton rolled on the sawdust,
Dijring a mere episode in his long life
Byron blazed out his brief career—Shel
ley, Keats, Coleridge, Sonthey, Words
worth, Canning, I'itt, Fox and others,
whose names will "fire men's ears like
music till the round world's nice be run,"
passed away.
Wasted IJenevolenre,
The benevolent <>l<l man looked out
from the window of the ear, and whin
tied ton newsboy. Three dashed in at
the front door, and four in the l>aek.
The benevolent old man bought a paper
of the smallest boy. In making change
the lad dropped two rents. He went
down on his knees in an instant and soon
found the money. However, he did not
reuse searching. Suppressed sobs were
heard, while lie dug his fingers in the
holes of the mat. The passengers be
came interested. "What's the matter,
my boy ?" said the benevolent old man,
lowering his glasses and peering over
their rims. " I've gone and dropped a
dime, an' I can't find it," whimpered the
boy, as he thrust his hand under the
seat. " Dad'll wallop me when I gets
home." "Never mind, let it go," said
the benevolent old man. "Here's an
other one." The boy took the coin
meeklv, and, as he passed the conductor,
remarked " sold again."

" Aul vital finally amused suspicion

•' Well, several thing*. Tin' chap who

taken the alarm and made tracks."
•• Isn't it curious that the family could
have escajwsl the country, when hun
dreds of men were on the lookout for
them?" observed the traveler.
" Wall, yaar." slowly replied the
strange old man.
*' And how do you aeoonut for it ?"
He chuckled ami looked out of the
window. There was an interval of three
or four minutes, during which he chewed
at his tobacco. Pinallv he said:
"They won't fliulold Itemler in Mary

on top the earth, ami they needn't
look for any 'o the rest o' the gang."
" Are thev dead ?"
"Pnrty likely they are, stranger!

you jest nx yourself if corpses can turn

" When you and the others diacovi'rc 1
that the family had fled, what did you
do ?" asked the traveler, hoping to draw
the old man's secret.
"Hat right down and sucked onr
thumbs, of course!" he chuckled.
" That's what we did; but some of tlio
rest had more pluck. They startisl out
on as plniu a trail as they wanted to ful
ler, and before sunrise there wasn't any
further use of anybody hunting for the
Benders!"
"Why?"
" Why ? Well, what's the use o* look

shot full o' hob's ami planted ? I reckon
that the old woman ipiit knitting and
Binging songs jest about daylight! 'Bout
that time, also, Kate and her lums thief

Money.
Of very ancient origin is money. It
is mentioned as a medium of commerce
in the Rible, in Genesis xxiii., where
Abraham purchased a field as a sepnlcher
for Sarah, in the vcar of the world *2189.
Homer sivoaks of brass money AS existing
11H4 R. C. The invention of com is
ascribed to the Lydians. Their money
consisted of go! 1 nml silver. Iron mouey
was used in Sparta, and iron and tin 111
Great Britain. Julius Csasar was the
first person wlio obtained the express
permission of the Senate to pla.v his
image on the Ritnan coins. Kirlier
tliev had placed the image of their deities
011 their coiua. The Roinuns called
their silver moncta, because it was
coined in the temple of Juno Moneta,
2t>'J B. C. Money has been male of
different materials, and even of leather.
. It was mndc of pasteboard bv the Hol
landers us late as 1574. The North
American Indians, in early times, used
sheila strung together, which they called
wampum. Coins were made iu many
different ahni>oß. English coins were
{.vartly square, oblong and round, until
the middle ages, since when round coins
have only been used. The Chinese aud
Japanese coins are square, with
a square hole through the center.
The names of many obsolete pieces
| are met with in Hhakespeare
and some other English authors,
such as the angel, angelot, noble, groat,
guinea, etc. The first silver coin struck
in England was the ancient silver penny.
It was struck with a arose so deeply in
dented that it might be easily parted
into two for half pence and into four for
farthings.
