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

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.

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.

heroine- and her youngest sister, turned;
giddy and fell into a pond six feet deep'
wiin waier. uespatening her youngest sis

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

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.
