PlKSl INDEPENDENT LElllGHTON, CARBON COUNTY, PA., SATURDAY, JULY SO, 1881. THE OI.U KITC1IKN n.OOIt. Far back in my musings .hly thou'sMs have been cast , TothecotwlierplhohoUrsor my childhood were passed; I lovo all ltl moms tb tlio pantry and hall, Ilutthat blessed old kltohen was dearer than all; Its chairs and Its tables, none brighter could bo, For all HI silrroundlnfts were sacred to mc; To the nail on tho celling, tho latch on the door, And 1 love every crack on that dear Kitchen floor. I romcmbcr tho fireplace, with Its moilthhlgh and wide. Tho old-fashioned oven that stood by Its side, Out of which, each Thanksgiving) camo pud. dings and pie, That fairly bewildered and darzlcd our ej'cs And then, too, Saint Nicholas, silly and still, Uamo down every Olirlittnas our stockings to fill. But the dearest of memories I've laid up In store, ' Is the mother who trod that old kitchen floor, Day In and day out, from morning till night Her footsteps were busy, her heart always light! For It seemed to me then she know not n care, Tho smllo was So gentle her face used to wear. I remember with ploasdro what Joy filled our eyes. When she told us the stories that children so prize. Thoy were now every night, though wo'd hoard them beforo From her lips at the wheel on the old kitch en floor. 1 remember tho window; frhero mornings I'd run, As soon as daybreak to watch for the sun. And I thought, when my head scarcely reached to the sill, That It slept through the night In the tree on tho hill; And tho small tract of ground that my eyes then could view, Was all the world that my Infancy knew. Indeed, I cared not to know of it more, For a world In ltsolf was that old kitchen floor. To-night those old visions como back at their will: Cut Its wheel and Us muslo forever aro still The band Is moth-eaten, the wheel laid away, And tho lingers that turned it are mould. rlng In clay; The'hearthstone, so sacred, is Just as 'twas then. And the voloes of children ring out there again; Tho sun through the window looks In as of J-orc, Uut it sees stranger feet or! tho old kitchen floor., I ask not for honor, .but this I would crave, That when the lips speaking aro closed In the grave, My clilldron will gather theirs round at their side, And teljjOf tho mother who long ago died, woumuo moreenuurmg, lar nearer to mo Than Inscription on morblo or granlto could be; To have them tell often, as 1 did of yore, Of tho mother that trod on that old kitchen floor. UNMASKED, "Don't be rash in tills, my dear don't I What will your friends say what will tho world say when they hear that Ianthe Howard is going to marry lior music-master? Wliot do wo know of this man T Oh, pause and consider, my darling my dar ling." And gentle, motherly Mrs. Burnham knelt down on the rich enrjiet, ond slipped her pleading arms around the slender figure before licr. ' "I have considered, Aunt Helen," the girl said, coldly. "You ask mo what do wo know of Jean. U'Ksterro? And I ans wer we know ho is a gentleman. This is the only knowledgo I value If you will not consent to our marrlogo now, wo shall wait for a year and then I shall bo my own mistress. But, tny dear Aunt Helen," with a sudden softening In tho proud volco, "do lie my friend in this 1 You havo been so kind to mo all my life, and now" The beautiful, dark face grew strangely pleading. "Now I om kinder thnn I ever was," Aunt Helen said "kinder, because of my great lovo for you dear. Harshly ltlnd,pcr. haps, in my nnxlpty for your happiness. A girl, young, handsome, nnd nn heiress, can not bo too careful in her choice of friends." "But you know I lovo him." She said the words wistfully, deprfcat ingly, lifting her lovely, troubled eyes to her aunt's lace. "I know you do not, Ianthe. A glr less than a year out of school why, you do not know your own mind I Besides, my dar ling, let trie tell you a truth, however lerrl ble it rnay sound to you ho does not lovo youl I must speak plainly. He isoslya contemptible fortune hunter, who wants your money." "Aunt Helen 1" 8he had sprung (o her fee llko a young tigress, a red glow leaping boldly tVlbe pale olive of her cheeks, her eyes aflame, "My dear it is true. If tho man has it In his naturo.to rare for any one but himself, he loves Elsie Gaudet Sutherland's nleco. Walt til! f have finished," as Ianlbo lifted her bead haughtily to speak. "Ho met her two years ago; In Paris. Sho Is a compatri ot of his. Think a moment, Ianthe I You must have seen how It was. She introduced h'lii to her relatives as an old Parisian friend ho mads the most of Ills opportuni ty. He has good looks and and a plausible manner, through which aided by the Suth erland's introduction he secured an entree to our best houses. lfo is giving her lessons as well osyouf He loyes lief") but jroa'are an heiress, and his avarice predominates. If ho cannot win you, he may succeed with her, 0b, my dear ou'e, try arid ttnilc'r stand," . Fori moment Ianthe Howard stood1 quite still and motionless, looking beforo ber with bllndjUnseeingeyes.'Sha lifted one band con fusedly to her head; all tho hottfaue failed from her check. "I don't believe' it," she said slowly, as' if too stunned for anger ('t don't bclieye il." "My dca'reil, I have been suddfn. For give ine," her aunt cried reproacfifuliy, al armed at sight of that white, wildace. "No," sbe said," calmly, though her Hps were pale and trembling! "If 'you can prove to rie that one iota of this miserable story is true, X will tbauk you for my sal vation'. But" In' tho same strained voice, as i! she was repeating a losson -"I don't belleviitl" Live and Let Live." "I shall give you b'n'e proof (ho other you shall seo for yourself. Yesterday I went to visit the Soulhrland's. Thoy were not at home; but tho servant said tUat Miss Gaudet was praetidih'g in the musio room. I went towonl It of course uhannoiihretl, cxpectiiii; lo find her lilone. The door was ajar, ami as I reached it I heard Joan D'Ei terres voice Intense.pleading.'teli the how I shall know you?' Then I heard Elsie Oaudet's light lough, 'If you should tneel rarlhenia, with n whlto rose in her hand, how can I toll who It might be J' I knock ed, and Elsie sprang to answer, but not bo lore I heard him whisper, 'Lovo needs not symbols. Ingomar shall know.' My deaf one, It lies with you to do the rest." "How 7". drearily. "Well, of course you know they alluded to Mrs. Kent's bal maiquc on tho 8th. Go as Parthenla yourself." "IT" "Yes. Will you let mo arrange with tho costumer? I shall havo that dress sent to you another tu ber." "No," shooriod possionatoly "no! List en to confidences not intended for my ear! It would bo mean, dishonorable, un derhand. No." "Ianthe, you have a mistaken Idea of honor. You may savo Elsie's life as well as your own. Do not misjuJgo her. She is a good little thing, and thinks he loves ber only. Did she know of tho double same he Is playing, I am suro she would scorn him, as she should. This man asked you to bo his wife. Let him prove linisclf worthy to bo your husband. You should stop at no silly society scruples to tear tho mask from that which may bring you misery and dishonor. My deer, If I am mistaken, I will beg your pardon and his, and giye you tobim with all my heart) but I lovo my child too dearly lo risk her young life's wreck. Will you bo Parthenia?" "Yes." At tho door Mrs. Ilurnham paused and looked liack, with eyes grown suspiciously moist and a great throb of compassion at her heart. For, in the centre of tho room, with bowed head and nervously clasped bauds, Ianthe Howard stood, a pittifully, childlike figure, despito her heavy ruby velvet draperies n girl standing alone un der the shivering, tottering ruins of first ovo castle. tu "Are tho costumes ordered last week fin isbed 7" "Yes, madam." The proprietress hastily left los3 profitable cuttomers to attend. Mrs. Burnham. "As I have the carriage arid will bo pass ing Miss Gaudct's, I slmll drop iters there, if it will bo a convonienco lo you." Madam was loo kind. They wc'fo ruined with work. They would bo very grateful. So madam's liveried coachman lifted1 tn'o ,w0 Iong bron pilpcr hoxea into (ho car . . , , , , . , riage and it rolled away. It was quito dark when it drew up at the Sutherland's door. "Just ling and hand this in, John. Make haste it is late." She pushed a box toward him. Ho obey ed her. Then he climbed to his seat, she gavo tlio order "Homo" and the car riage drove off, Mrs. Burnham laughod, a littlo sadly to herself, anil patted tlio box which held the pretty Parthenia dress. Elsie will think it a mistake. How else could I convince bcrT Besides, all's fair in love and war." rurthenia stood alono in tho reces3ofa window, nnd watched the motley crowd surging through Mrs. Kent's lofty rooms. Hapless Mario Sluart and n "Heathen Chinee," Sir Waller Raleigh and Ited Rid ing Hood, Richelieu and little Nell floated serenely by. "Ah, you havo come at last 1 Parthenia started suddenly at the whis pered words, and turned to confront a tall, fur clad Ingomar. "Havo you no word for mo, mabcltet" "Yes ; but not here."

JIUH;AMlr OF TollIAY. The whole bf tho band of Greek brigands by whom Mr. Buter was recently captured Tcro Christians, that Is, they belonged to tho. Greek Church, and no less than seven had been in the Greek army In different grades; and had deserted therefrom. Not withstanding that every day of their lives Is passed in perpetrating tlio most heinous crimes, yet these men neyor begin a meal without crossing themselves, nnd, saying their prayers at night. On tho Greek Easter Day, Mr. Suter was surprised to find that each bad his caudle lighted, and that ufter presenting ode to tho prisoner they would not begin to cat until they had en ssed themselves three times, each time the chief saying, "Christ has risen," and tho remain der answering, "Truly He has risen," con cluding tho ceremony by kissing eaoh other all around, Including Mr. Suter. Every brigand wears a charm, consisting of either a bit of blub glass or red silk, to prevent bis flesh from boing penetrated by bullets, nnd tho faitU thoy all put in theso things surpasses belief. One anocdoto is told of a member of Aristide's band who during the Creton Insurrection, was opposed on the top of a rock to tho firo of tho Turkish troops. Prcsontly ho gave a shout and fell baek, saying he was shot, but when exam ined nothing could bo seen but a slight black mark, whoro the bullet Blruck him. This was all accounted for by a blue morblo charm ho wore, and soveral men swore to the truth of the above story. One of two stories, as related to Mr. Suter by the gang around their evening nieal,show their brutality. Tho chief of tho band, iVristides, ono day came across nn old Turk out shooting, who had with him his piece ni forked stick, which is used in order to ob tain a better aim, by resting on it Ihe barrel of the gun. Simply for ntnusemont the bri gand chief strangled the man, afterward placing him In a kneeling position, putting his fowling picco to his shoulder, and rest ing the barrel on the crutch in the most natural position, so that any passcr-by would never suspect but that It was a peas ant sportsman Instead of a corpso. Another anecdote was told with great. gusto. Nlko, the chief of tho band that took Col. Synge, caught a man near a saw mill, whom ho thought he recognized. The conversation commenced thus: "Did you not once spy for me?" "Yes." "Did I not pay you five lires for so doing?" "Yes." "Did you not toll the soldiers in such and such i( village that you had seen me?" "Yes." "Then," said Niko, "lake a bit of paper pencil qnd write as I lellyou : 'This is way Niko treats traitors.'" After this was (lone he first sawed off the man's right hand, so that he should never write anything against hlmj next ho deprived him of his cars, so that he could hear no mnro questions about the band, and, finally, ho cut his tongue out to prevent him from telling tales. Then, wrapping all these fragments in a benkerchief,' ha bado him walk to tlio nearest village to.prescnt them with the note to the Pasha. Tho poor man, not daring lo refuse, struggled on till he dropped down and died from loss of blood.'

"Come nhing, then." After they had trudged about an hour they reached tbo reeidenro of the Galves tonian, Tho gnat was tied up in an out house. Tho Western.

The 'stockman felt tho animal all over, looked at tho texture ot his hair, and then said : "I can't see any points that goat has got over any other goat. Did you say you paid seventy.five dollars for that scrub ?" "Thai goat cost mo seventy-five dollars', and I exioct to get my money back." "Well, you couldn't got it out of mo." "I am pot trying lo get it out of you, bu'j r hope to get it out of tho the goat. But, HI tell you candidly, if you had chawed up my yost pocket wth scyenty-3ve dollars in it, like that goat did, I'd have it out of you some way or other."

Thirty years Ago dilbcrt Francis Verlzcn. a Frenchman, drifted Into a small French colony, about three miles west of New Al bany, Intl.

Tlio Use of this leather pocket was not apparent to anyone. Curiosity sometimes took people lo the neigbborhood of his cave,' but ho seldom admitted anyone and was averse to conver sation. The orily communication beheld with anybody else's thoughts was through a few old French books, which ho read con stantly when at homei About ten years ago, however, a snappcr-up of unconsidered trifles got a littlo ways into his confidence and gained from him somb particulars of bis life, which wero printodal lbs time, but Lave n fresh Interest now ,the old hermit is dead.

Tho only instance of embarrassment I could not overcome, occurred many years" ago. It was my own fault, ond proved a sharp lesson to me. I was engaged toad dress a large number of children in the af ternoon, the meeting t,i be held on tho lnwn back of the Baptist Church in Provi dence, 11. 1.. In tho forenoon a friend met me and said: "I have some first-rato cigars, will you take a few 1" "No, I thonlt you." "Do take half a dozon." "I h.avo uowhero to put them." "You can put half a .Wen in your cap." I woro a cap in those' days, and I put the cigars into it, and at the, appointed time I went to tho meeting. I ascended the platform nnd faced nn.omlicncp of more than two thousand children. As It was outofdoorsl kept rny cap on, for fear of taking cold, ond I forget all about the cigars. Towards the closo of my speech ! became very much in earnest, and after wnrnln the boys against bad company, bad habits, and tho saloons,! said: "Now boys, lot us give three rousing cheers for. temperance and for cold water.' Now, then,' three cheers. Hurrah I" And taking 0,0" my cap I waved it most vigorously, ana away went the eigara rignt Into tho midst of the audience. Tbo remaining cheers wero very faint,' nnd were nearly drownod In the laughter of tho crowd. I was mortified and ashamed, and should havo been rclievod could J have sunk through tho platform out of sight. My feelings were Etill more aggravated by n boy coming up tho platform with one of those dreadful elgars, saying: "Here's ono of your cigars, Mr. Cough." Though X never afterwards put cigars In my cap or Int. when going to a meeting, I am ashamed to Bay it was sometime after that before I gsvo up cigars altogether. From John 13.
