Only a mound, O'ergrown with grass, Dreams unrealized rest at Iasti Chicago Tribunci A6ENER0USGENTLEMAN, I eat spinning at my liltlo wheel ill the 6un, for tho autumn day was cool, when i heard somo ono whistliiigi and looltirigup, there was young Squire Turnc, with his arms folded on tho gntc.looklng oven When he caught my eye ho laughed and I blushed and I arose nnd itiado hliri ri courtesy. Ho was a handsome gcntlcman.liio'Squire, nnd the hand from which ho pulled tho gloyo shimmered in tho sun with pearls and diamonds, and ho was bonny to look at,wltti his hair liko the spun gold iii the October sunlight. When I courtcsicd ho bowed, making his curls dance over his shoulders, nbd said : "I've spoiled ono pretty- picture that I could havo looked at all day, but I've made another as pretty, so I'll not grieve. May I comoin?" "And welcome, sir," said I. And I set a chair for him, for ho was grandfather's land lord ; but for all that 1 lclt uncomfortable, for I was not used to fine company He lathed away, paying no more compl! ments lhah I was used to, for grandmother) who brought ir.o up, always eald, "Hand some is what handsomo does, and beauty Is but skin deep." Since I'm telling the story, I will tell tho truth. I had dono wrong about ono thing, neither of tho old folks knew that I worn Evan Locke's ring in my bosom, or that we had taken a vow to each other beside tho ' hawthorno that grew in tho church lane. never meant to deceive, but granny was old and a little hard, and that lovo of mino was such a sweet secret. Besides, money seems to outweigh all clso when people havo strug gled all their lives through to tllrn a penny, and they knew Evan was a poor, struggling young surgeon. I thought I'd wuit nwhllo until I could sweeten lliO news with tho fact that he'd begun to make his fortune. Granny camo In from the dairy five min utcs after tho 'Squire was goncind she heard he had been there. I didn't tell her of his fine speeches: but there was akoy-holein the door she camo through, and I guess she heard them. That night wc had something else to think cf ; misfortunes had come upon grandfather; but I diun't foresee that, when tho half year's rent should become due, not a penny to pay it with could be'foiihd. All this time Evan Locke and Thad been as fond ns ever of each other, and ho came as often as beforo to talk with grandpa on Iho wintry nights; nnd still every littio while our young landlord, 'Squire Turner, would drop in and sit in his lasy way watching mo knit or spin. Once or twice he was flushed with wine nnd was over bold,for lie tried to kiss me. But 'Squlro or no, I boxed his cars for his pains,and uo softer than I could help, either. I Could hothciphis coming ot help uceine him when ho came, ond I did not deserve that Evan should bb angry with mo; but lie was. Eh, so high nnd mighty, and spoke as though ono like the 'Squire could mean no good by coming to bo poor a place as that ol the schoolmaster s. He made mo angry and I spoko up : "For that matter tho 'Snutro would bo glad to have mo promise to marry him. Ho thinks more of me than you do just now," "Maybe you liko him better V said Evan. "I don't soy that," replied I ; "but bud temper and jealousy scarcely make me over fond of another. I pray I may never hayo a husband who will sjold me." For ho had becn'Bcoldlhg trie. There was no other ncme for it. Well, Evan was wroth with me and I with him not heart deep,tbough, I thought and I did not see him for mora than a week. 1 was not troubled much, though. knew he would come around again, ami mayhap ask my pardon j for, before vou are wed, you can bring your lover to his senses when you will. So I did not fret after Evan's absence, nor quite snub 'Squiro Turner, who liked mo more than ever. But one night grandfather came in from n lonely ride; and shutting tho door etootf between grandma and me, looking at me, and so strangely that wo both grew frightened. At last he spoke 1 "I've been to tho 'Squire's. Fot the first time I hid la tell him that I could not pay his rent when due." I opened my lips. Grandmamma's hand covered them. Grandpa drew me to him. 'Thou'rt young, lass," he said, "and they are right who call thee pretty. Bay) couldn't you like the 'Squiro well enough to wed himt" i "Eh," cie4 grandma. Sure you'ro not wandering?" "'Squire Turner asked me for this lass of oiiri to-night. Of all women in the world there it but one he loves as he should his wife, and that is our Agatha." "I dreomed ofgoldeu ringtand a bunch of whit? roses on Christinas eve," cried gran ny. '4 knew tbe lass would be lucky.' But I put my head on grandfather's' shoulder and hid my face. The truth must out, I knew. t'Wllthave him and be a rich ladyt" said grandpa. And when he had waited for an answer,! burst out with "Ho" and a sob together. ''She's frightened," said grandmamma "Nay, we must all wed once In our lives, my child." Then grandpa talked to me. He told me $1.00 how poor they had grown, and how" kind tho 'Squiro was, ond I had but to marry him to make my grandparents freo from debt and poverty their liyes through. If I refused arid vexed tho 'Squire, Heaven only .knew what might happen. "Sho'll never ruin her dear grandpa," sobbed grandma. Ah, it was hard to bear bitter hard; hut now thero was no help from it. 1 took tlio ring from my bosom nnd laid iton my palm, and told them it was Evan Locke's, and I had plighted my troth to him. And grand ma called mo a deceitful wench, nnd grand father looked as though his heart would break. That night I kissed tho ring and prayed Heaven that ho might lovo mo always. In tho morning it was gone, ribbon and all, from thy Heck. I looked for it high and low, but I found no sign of it. And I be gan to fear the loss of that dear ring was a sign that I would never marry Evan Locke. Tho day3 passed on and hi) never camo near mc. "Oh, it is cruel of him," I thought) "to hold 6(tch anger for a hasty word ho had provoked. When I spoko it ho must havo known I loved him so." And grandma would scarcely lpok at mo how, and grandpa sighed and mourned nnd talked of tho work-housci And I thought I should did of grief among them. O110 day grandma says, "it seems that your swcethbdtt is not over fond of you or oVcr anxious to seo yoUi" "Why not 7" said L "Whcro hal ho been this month back?" "Busy, doubtless," said I, with a smile, though I thought my heart would bilrst. "Perhaps you know all about it," slid grandma) "you aro going with him, may be." "Whcro?" Bttid t. Sho went to tho door and beckoned a wo man who sat there Dame Coombs who hod coino over with eggs. "I heard you rightly?" sho said. "You (old me Evan Locko and his mother were making ready fof a Voyage." "They nro going Id Canada. My 68n a carpenter, ond a good one, though I say it, mado tho doctor a box for his things. The old lady dreads tho new country, but sho goes for tho doctor's sake. There's ihoney to mado there, they say. That's what takes him." "I told you so," said grandma. "I don't belicvo it, said I. "They've sold tho house and gono to Liv erpool to take ship; and you may find tho truth yourself if you chooso to take the trou ble," said Damo Coorttbj. "I'm no chatter box to tell falsehoods about my neighbors. And sho went away in wrath, And still I would not bclievo it until I had walked across the moor and had seen tho shutters fast closed and tho doors barred, nnd riot a sign of life about the place. Then I gave up hope, I went homo all pale and trembling, nnd sat dowifat grandmother's kr.eo. "it's true," said i. "And for tho sako of a false lad you'll seo your grandfather ruined nnd break his heart, and leave, me, that havo nursed you from a babe, a widow." I looked at her as sho cobbed, ond I found strcngtli to say I Give mo wiiofti you will, then, sinco my own lovo docs not want me." And then I crept up stairs and sat down on my bedside, weak as though I had faint ed. I would havo thanked Heaven for for gelfulness just then, but it wouldn't conic. Tho next day 'Squire Turner was ih tho parlor as my accepted lover. How pleased ho was, and how tho color came back to grandfather's old face. And granuy grew so proud mid kind, and all tho houso was aglow -and only I sad. But I couldn't for get Evan Evau whom I loved so sailing away from mo without a wonl. I suppose they all &aw I looked sad. The 'Squire talked of my health, and would make mo ride with him oyer tho moors for strength 1 The: old follis said nothing. They knew what ailed me ; only our little Scotch maid seemed to think thero was aught wrong. Once sho said to mo : "What ails ye, miss? Your tyo is dull and your cheek; Pale, and your braw grand lover canna make yu smilo' Ye are na that III, either." u "No, I am well enough," Baid I. Sho looked at mc wistfully. "Gin yo'd tell mo your all, I might tell ye a cure," sho said. But thero was no cure for mc in this lono World, and I couldn't open my heart to sim ple Jennie. Tho days rolled by and I was close on my marriago eve, and granny and Dorothy Plume wcro busy with my wedding robes. I wished it was my shroud they were work ing at Instead. And one night the pain In my Heart grew too great, and I went out among the purple heather on the moor; arid thero knelt down under the stars and prayed to be taken from tho world. "Fpr how can I live without Evau 7" I asked. I spoko tho words' alodd, and then started up in alWght, for there at my side was an elfish little figure, and I heard a cry that at first I scarcely thought e&rthly. Yet it was but Scotch Jennie, who had fallowed inc.. "Why do you call for your love now?"sho said. "Ye sent him frae ye for sake 0' the young "Squire." "How dare you follow mo ?" But Che caught my sleeve. 'Dinna be vexed," She said. 'Just bide a wee, an' answer what I speer. It's for love of yoU) for I've seen ye waste like the enae wreath in the sun since tbe 'Squire wooed ye. Was it your will that the lad that loved the ground ye trod on should have his ring again?" "What do you mean ?" said I. "I'll speak gin I lose my place," tdld Jen ny. "I rode with the mistress to young Dr. Locke's place past the moor, and thero she lighted and gave him a ring, and what she said I know not, but it turnod hltn the tint o' death 1 and said he, 'There's nae a drop of true bin id in a womau,gin she is false.' An be turned to tho wall an' covered his eyes, an' your granny rode home. There, 'tis all I ken. Will It uo 7" "Aye, Jenny," said I. ''Heaven bless you I" And bad I wings on my feet I could not havo come to the cottage door sooner. I stood before my grandmother, trembling and white, and said : 'Oh, don't tell me, granny you hare ch sated me and robbed ma of my true love by a Year if Paid in Advance. If not paid iii advance, 1.23. a lie. Did you steal tho troth ring from my neck and givo it back to Evati as If from mc? You I'vo loved and honored my life long. I'd rather dio than think It." She turned scarlet. "True lovd I" said sho. "You'vo but tints true lovo now 'Squire Turner." "You've dodo it?" I cried. "It's written on your face." And sho looked down at that and fell in weeping. "My own truo loVe was breaking hh heart, she said. My husband nnd I have loved for fifty years. I did it to sayo him, could I let a girl's fancy) worth nothing, stand m my way, nnd seo him a beggar in hisoldngo? Oh,irU girl!" And then I fell down at her feet liko a stone. I kbcw notbidg for an hour or m0ro but then, when I was better, and they left me with Jenny, I bade her felch my hood and cloak and her own nnd cohuS with mc, and away I went across the moot in tho starlight to where tho hall windovrs wcro nblazo witli light, and asked tho housekeep er to let mo seo the 'Squire. Silo 6lared at mo for my boldness no wondcf but called him. So in a moment ho stood before mo in his evening dress, With his checks flushed nnd his eyes bright, and led mo into n littio room nnd seated me. "Agatha, my love, I hope ho mischief brings you here," he began. But I stopped him. "Not your love, 'Squird Turner," I said, "I thank you for thiukirig so well of mo; but ovenjifter all thai;has passed, I" "Havo I offended you, Agatha," ho said. "Not you. Tho oiTenco tho guilt Oh) I have been sorely cheated 1" AnJ all I could do was to sob and think ho thought mo mad. At last slrcligth camo to mo. I went back to tho first and told him all how wo had been plighted to tacli other, waiting only for better prospects to bo wed, and how, when ho had honored mo by 'tho offer of his band, I anpered my grandparents by own ing tlio truth, and tho rilig" granny had stolon from my breast) and tho false mes sage that had been sent my promised hus band from mc. "And though I would novcr seo Evan Locko again," said I, "still I can never bo another man's truo loyc, for I am his uhtll I die." Then) as I looked, all tho rich color faded out of tho 'Squire's face, and I saw n sight wo seldom seo a strong man in tears. At last ho arose and camtS to mc. "My littio Agatha never loved mo," he said. "Ah me I the news is bad. I thought sho did, This coinej of vanity." "Many a fairer and higher havo hearts to giVc," I said. "Mine was gone ero you saw mc." And then, kind nnd genllo ns though I had not grieved him, ho gavo mo his arm and saw 1110 across tho moor, and at the gate paused and whispcrcdi "Bo at rest, Agatha ; the Canadian ship Golden Gborgt) has not sailed yet." I liked him better than I had ever done beforo that night when I told granny I would never wed him. Eh! but he was fit to bo a king the grandest) kindest, b55t -of living men, who rodo away witli the brealt of the morrow, and nover stopped till ho reached Liverpool and found Evan Locko just ready to set foot upon tho Golden Gcorgo, nnd told him a tale that mado his heart light and sent him back tome. But our yoiing 'Squiro 1 Heiveii bless him I And who was it lhat sent old grandfather the deed of gift that mado the' cottage, his own, and who sjioko a kind word to the gentry for young Dr. Locko and helped him into practice? Still no ono but 'Squire Turner, whom wo taught our children to pray for every night. For wo were mar ried, and in a few years had boys ami girls at our knee ; and when tho eldest was nigh two, the thing I needed to make me qui to happy hapiicncd, and from fur awny over the sea, whcro ho had been twelve months, camo our 'Squire with tho bonniest lady that ever blushed beside! him, nnd the Hall had a mistress at last a mistress that loved the 'Squire as I loved Evau, Eh I but it's art old story: filia that 1 re membered a girl I raw in her coffin, wither ed and old. And then they opened the vault where tlio 'Squire had slept ten years to put her besido him ; and I've nothing, left of Evan, my life ami my love, but his memo ry, and it seems as if every hope and dream of joy I ever had was put away under the tombstones. And tvth the Golden George, the greot.strong ship that would havo borne my dear from mo, has mouldered away at the bottom of tho sea somewhere. And I thlhk my wedding ring is liko to outlast us all, for I havo it yet, and I shall be ninety to-morrow. Ai Lincoln nnd Zncli. CliAiidlcr. Tlio recent anniversary of the birth of Lincoln prompts a resident of Washington, to relate1 in a newtpdtier of that city, a striking incident of tbe civil war, In which tbe late Zachariab Chandler played a promi nent part. The Washinglonlan was walk ing in the avenue, just after the first battle of Bull Hun had filled the town with dismay and despondency fiui chanced to encounter Chandler, greatly excited over the disast rous defeat, and swearing liko a Templar. The Senator seized him by tho arm the two had been friends for years and said i "Let's go right up and see Lincoln. Some-, thing's got to be done, or tho county's gone to sure." In a few minutes they en tered the White House, and found Lincoln he had evidently been weeping with hit wife, iu the Blue Boom, in a state of agitation. The President held out his hand, exclaiming: "My God, Chandler, I'm glad to see you. Wo are ruined, ruin ed. What shall be done?" "Doue?" echoed the Senator, "What must bo done is this: You must write out a proclamation at once, calling for 300,000 men," Lincoln expostulated. He had not yet had a Cabi net meeting; but he was to have one that evening. "We can't wait," urged Chand ler; "we must have the proclamation im mediately. It will give confidence to the nation. Without it we'll be in anarchy be foro a week. Come, Mr. President, there's not a minute to lose," and he urged Lincoln to a desk on Which writing materials lay. "I'll wait for the document and take it to the Associated PreM, and to-morrow it will be all over the country." The proclamation was hurriedly written out and carried off by Chandler j.maii'jMtiKniiajja t aiiiiiaiiiaimtia n'l'iiij The Carbon Advocate!, An Independent Family Newspaper Published every SATURDAY, In" Lehlghton, Cdtbnii Co., Pa., bf UAitiiY r. nnuiTKiinEH.

Theodore It. Davis, of the staff of Harper Brothers, has returned from k fhrlough of Six months, which ho devoted td making tho designs of a dinner set for President Hayes, which is now being manufactured at Limoges, Mr. Davis mado special deaigni' for each piece, ond both the shapes and Iho decorations art) of the boldest character, unci liavo elicited much praise, hero ani in Eu rope, from tlioio who liavo seen thcm.Thcse! designs,- painted in water colors and placed end to end, would make a band sixty-three' feet long. American fish, gainh and fruits decorate the plates and dishes fo tbe vari ous courses. The fish dish is rectangular, with comers cut off and gilded. Tho principal object shown on it is a shad, the king of American: fishes, to which tho cited of motion Is given by tho action of the tall. The water is greenish, tinted with light blue, and ob scured with n few seaweeds and acnuatle fungi. Over tho wholo dish is a gold giik net, against which the shad is struggling. A slight wound in his left gill tinges the water with a slight streak of red, which gradually fades out. Odd bf tho most striking soup plates rep resents American soup in the fifteenth cen' tury. tn the distance is a stream falling over a flat ledgd of rock. On tho bank of tho stream, near the foreground; is seated an! Indlnnj very carefully drawn, with his pipe1 and Ills arrow-case covered with spotted ilccrsKIni Between him and the carcass of n deer is a "pot-hole," In which he is mak--ing his soup. A gcntlo spray rising front tho waterfall, a light rainbow and thd steam from the pot hole givo to tho distance) n great depth, which is increased by tha curling smoko of tho fire, where tho Indian heated tho stones ho throw Into the soup td make it boil. Tho fire, nevertheless, does' not nppenr on the plate. Another soupt plato presents a green ttirtio crawling about between tho ribs of an old wreck. A gold moon lights up tho scene, which is orna tnentcd with sea plants and corals, but what adds tho most arlislle touch tt) the wholo ii the phosphorcsccnco of tho water as it dash es against the wreck and tho rocks. Tho plotter for tho gamo service, about fifteen by twenty inches ltl siil: rcnre.wnlrf a picco of birch bark just peeled off and slightly curled up at the ends, showing thd rich red lining. In tho centro stands thd American wild turkey, with his red lsgs and magnificent plumago. The ground is just covered by thd first fall of snow, and thd sun setting in the low horizon lights up thd bird So that somo of tlio brilliant colors of his feathers aro reflected in (lie snow, whlio ot the same limo tho snow's white glaTd shows on tho bird's breast. Ono of the plates of this set represents deer-shooting with a jack light; another shows a quail's nest in n snow bank, no white color being used, for by" a clever arrangement of shadows, tho whitd porcelain assumes the needed aspect. An other represents a prairio hen in full flight. The dessert plates are of a slightly humor oUs character. Instead of being perfectly round, they tako tlio form of tho outline of an npDle. On one appears a rock; near it a battered tin can filled w'th huckelbcrriea is turned over and the fruit scattered on thd ground; close by aro the battered cover and the picking cup and tho dilapidated hat of tho pickcr(who has evidently taken to flight suddenly) for at n short distanco two cubs nnd a bear are making free with the gath ered fruit. A liuckclberry plant and a twig of blackberry crossing tho plato produce a good decorative effect. A'ritlCJC ON SIICIPKBUFER-S. On of the latest tricks played upon shop keepers was successfully performed at a Cin cinnati grocery tho other evening. A wo man entered and ordered a pound of the best coffee. She carried a jar under her" arm, and, when tho grocery man was about to pour tho coil'ee iu a paper bag, the cus tomer told him, to dump it into the jar In stead. Tho man did so, tlio femalo leaning over the counter and still holding the jar under her arm, with the bottom of tho ves sel concealed. When sho had received the coffee tho femalo put her hand In her pock et, and, with a well-feigned expression of annoynnce, cried: "I do declare, I have left mypursoat homo! I'll just set tho jar of" coffee down on tha counter hero while I run in home and get the money." She placed tho jar on the counter and (vent out, but she failed to return, and when tho storekeeper picked up tho jar he was surprised to find that it did not contain atty coffee, and that tho bottom had been knocked out. It then flashed upon his mind that when he poured the coffee 111 the jar it ran through into d bag concealed by the female sharper. A You.-vu iiuuuiive;: A ycry young heroine, Miss Esther Mary- Cornlsh-Bowden, aged eight years, has just been awarded by tlio Britisn Royal Humane Society its medal and a handsomo testimo nial explanatory of the circumstances under which she bravely entitled herself to receive that medal. Sho is tho daughter of a gen tleman living at Blackball, Avonwick, Ivy bridge, Devonshire, and she saved the life' of her governess, Miss Bradshaw, who: when returning from Sunday school on the 30th of November last, with the youthful heroine- and her youngest sister, turned; giddy and fell into a pond six feet deep' wiin waier. uespatening her youngest sis ter to the keeper's lodge. Miss Cornhh-Bow den bent over the pool, trying to lay hold of her drowing governess. This she dldi but in the effort she overbalanced herself, fall into tho pond and sank. Never losing her, presence of mind, she retained her grip of the governessind when she rose to the sur face she still held her by the right hand; while with tbe left the caught bold of soma short bushes. In this position they re mained for about five minutes, the child calling for help. Eventually a passing workman heard the cries and assisted Mils' Bradshaw and tbe child out of the water. The former was much exhausted and par tially insensible, but her brave little rescuer' appeared quite unconcerned. King Cbetwayo Is said to be a man of simple and abstemious habits.
