THE EDITOR'S TABLE.
BY WILL H, CARLTON.
The editor sat In Ills sanctum, countenance
furrowed with care,
Ills mind at tlio bottom of business, his feet
at the top of a chair,
ills rliair-arm on elbow, supnortltic. bis
tight band upholding his head.
Its eyes' on his dusty old table, with dlfTei
ent documents spread I
There were thirty long pages from Howler,
with underlined capitals topped,
And a short requisition from Growler, ro
questing his newspaper stopped ;
There were lyrics from Gusher, the poet,
concerning sweet flowerets and zephyrs,
And a stray gem from Plodder, tho farmer,
describing n couple of heifers ;
There Were billets from beautiful maidens
and bills from n grucrr or twn.
And his best leader hitched (oa teller which
inquired if he wrote it or .who?
There were raptures of praises Irom writers,
of the smooth and mclliflernus school,
And one of his rival's last papers, informing
him he was a fool J
There were several long resolutions, with
names felling who they were by,
Canonizing boiiio harmless old brother who
had. done nothing worse thsn to die ;
Thero were .traps on that table to catrli him,
and serpents to sting and smite him I
There were gift enterprises tokcll him, nnd
biters attempting to bite him ;
There were long staring "ads" from the city,
and money with never a one.
Which added, "Please give thlsinserllnn,nnd
send in your bill when you're done."
There were letters from organizations their
mooting!, their wants and their laws
Which said "Can you print this announce
ment for Ihe good of our glorious cause?"
There' Were tickets inviting his presence to
festivals, parties and shows,
Wrapped In notes, with "Please give us a
notice;1 demurely slipped In at the
close ;
In short, as his eye took the table, and ran
o'er its ink-spattered trash,
There was nothing itdid not encounter; ex
cepting perhaps It-was cash.
1.M0THE1TSSACRIFICE.
X 6 re bnrned lu tho low grate, but tho
Hltle light it gave, revenlerl nil the grace
of Sirs. WiueilVi'iVa sltBht form in Its
Ins'e-aititiK robes of bl.tck. To-niobt,
for the firsU time (u ber two years of wid
ow ltriod, (die laid tiff the widow's cap.
wliiclj hitd lor so long served, to conceal
the .thick Milium I raids so nrtistidilly
coiled about Itio small .head, Perhnps
for this snmo rensoq site had dlstniKsed
he.btttler when ho. entered nccordinff to
csstom tn Jight. lQuips, or perhaps be'
cnnsR the slow tick! jg of the clock upon
tho uiHutel revealed toiler sufficiently tbe
htpsu of lime without bompelliug her to
distinguish tho hands upon the fnco of
the dial dntwlug uenrer and nearer the
hour whose, closonpproach'dissipated the
calmness she vainly strove to gaiu.
Eighteen years - had passed since she
and Arthur Mninvrariug had met. They
had been lovers in that far-off time, bnt
he was poor then, with no whisper in the
air of tbe rich inheritance to which he
afterward fell beir, just too late for it to
bring" happiness tq .either. ?fot that they
cared for wealth, either of them, but then
tUere-'were olclcr.wiscr minds to judge for
them both, and so, each rowing eternal
vows, they were torn apart.
Six short months Uter she married
Edward Winpfiela. He was,fnrt'anatey,
not a man to. look for love and sentiment
in bis young wife only wifely duty and
obedience. In' these she never failed
him, and after bis death the world found
proof of bis esteem in the fact that to bis
widow reverted all bis fortnne, untrnm
melod by n single reservation.-
She had married very young. She wns
but thirty-five now. Would be flud her
changed, she wondered bo for whose
coming she wnited here to-dnj?
Simultaneously with the thnngbt came
the sound of carriage wheels rnd horses'
hoofs on the graveled walk. She started
to ber feet, pressing both bauds upon'
ber fast-beating heart. Only that morn
ing she .bad received tbe telegram nn
nouncing Arthur Mainwnring's coming.
and already be was here.- Sh vn glad,
oh, so gl-d, that the room was dark, when
she beard tho qnlck, firm trend she lad
sometimes heard ia ber dreams dur'ng
these lo g years' of dutiful living; so glad
that he could not see the qnibk blnsb,
which' put ber matron-hood to shnme.
when the door was hastily opened, and
three rr four Bwlft strides Wrought him to
her side.
"Barbara!'
Oh, how his voice still thrilled her
half with pleasure, half with pain!
His tall form towered far above her, as
in the'olden lime; but be held Close in
his own firm, tender grasp, her two little
trembling bands.
Are' you glad toRee me?" he nnestlon
ed, Sbe strove lo answer, but ber lips
fjnlvered, and no words rame.
Barbara," he said then again, nnd be
bowed bis handsome head lower, "is it
too soon to speak?"
'Oh, Arthur," &he answered, "can I
yet atone?'
And then tbe bridge of years was swept
away, and be sobbed out her happiness
upon his breast,
"Let me see you," be said, at last. "I
have not yet seen tbe face for wblob I
have hungered all these years.'
He struok a light, then turned nnd
looked at htr,
"My darling!" he said. "It is still my
beautiful Barbara. What have I done to
deserve tbis hourl"
"Mamma, where ore you?" called out
a fresh, girlish voice nt 'this instantant.
The next moment a young girl cf scarce
seventeen summers aprang into tbe room.
"This is my daughter, Arthur my
only cbild. Dora, let me present you te
one of your mother's oldest friends."
The gentleman indicated looked from
one to the other from tbe mother to tbe
daughter then back again. Now ho
could roaliio tho lapse" of-tlm-now he
c iulu apprjkjut tbe tb.nges ycirs had
SI. 00
wrought. It wns ns though he had
brongbt tbe past nnd present face to face
forcing him to acknowledge tbe impossi
bility of nature's standing still.
The danghter was a fair counterpart ol
tho mother's b,enuty. As sbe looktd now
shly extending to him ber hand, ns if in
deprecation of ber unceremonious en
trance, so had Barbara looked, when tx
tendli g bir baud in farewell, as though
she would havo said, "lam frrced into
it by n stronger will thnu mine."
An uncomfortable sensation rose tip in
bis breast a dumb warring ngait,st the
inevitable an unacknowledged desire to
retrace llfn's pathnny and conquer time.
Meantime the young girl pouted the
full, red lips, as she thought her mother's
friend strangely absent; nud whin heat
last forced blmstlf into a ftw words oi

ears.
Then sbe had gone. The lovers were
alone ngain, bnt he no longer opened
wide bis arms, but instend, drew a chair
to ber side, that they might discuss more
ratibnally,
You must teach Dora to love yon" sbe
said to Li til next nioruiug. "I want first
to reconcile ber to my second marriage
befoio startling ber with its possibility.
Tell me do you think her like me?"
"Ynt second self."
"Ah, I am so gladl You will love her,
then, for my sake?"
To love and be lovedl Over-easy task
set by trail woman in ber blindutss. It
must be Mr. Muiuwaribn wLo mutt bo
Dora's companion in her daily ride. Mr.
Mainuariug who must teach her to man
age tho cockle-bout for which he had
sent to town in these first early, spring
days. Tbe lovers were seldom alone new.
Dora looked up at their guest ns ber
property. She had long ago lnnghingly
told him bow uncertlnoulnus bad been
bis welcome to ber, and he bnd wooed
and won bis absolution.
Sometimes Barbara sighed as sbe
watched them together, while the sat
alone, but she gave to the sigh no name,
and thought it a tribute to the vanished
years.
One day came ber awaking. Dora nnd
Mr. Mainwaring bnd gone for their after
noon ride, but it bad extended beyond
its wont, nnd she had grown anxious and
gone ont to meet them, striking into the
forest path which wns tbtir favorite way.
Half a mile from ber home she met Dora's
horse riderless. Pale with terror, she
hastened on, when she suddenly stepped,
rooted to the spot. Almost at her feet
knelt the man her heart had loved always,
nnd in bis arms ho held Dora's unconsci
ous form.
My love! my lift!'' lio said, each word
belng.borne distinctly to her ear; "speak'
to me once just onct! O'i, Dorn.i are
you hurt? My darling, would that I
might havo given my life for yotirsl"
Then he stooped and pressed his lips
to hers, A long fluttering sigh escaped
them.
"Arthur!" sbe whispered; "Arthur!"
"1 hm here', dear." he said,
Aud then be laid ht r dovn out of his
arms, as thongh, with returning life, lie
remembered the duty it brought with it.
Tho mother spianc forward.
"Do not be nltrmed," Mr, Mainwaring
said, gently, on seeing her. 'Her horse
threw her. I think there is no serious
injury.'
No serious injuryl None to Dora, but
B.irlwru knew that her wound was past
healing.
When, a few bonrs Idler, they knew
that thero was no need for anxiety od her
account Barbara shut herself np'withiu
ber own room to fight her bhttlo.
"I cannot give him up," she moaned.
"He does not know bis own heart. He
will forget this chil l, and Bhe she can
not love him."
But even ns she reasoned came tb re
membrance ot the ono word, "Arthur!"
and the tone in which she had said it.
"I will try her," she said, and for the
first lime in ber life came a feeling of
bitter resentment even against ber own
cbild.
They wero sitting togelber in tho li
brary ns she entered.
"Arthur," she asid, "I think it is tlmo
that we told Dora tbe truth."
The man's face paled. She could al
most see him gird bis snul for the con
flict, and crush out' bis heart behind his
honor. Evu Dora looked up with a sus
picion of coming trouble.
It is only tbis, dear," Barbara laid,
tnruiug to ber diugbter; has not Mr,
MHluunring told you thnt be was an en'
gaged man?"
Then she saw that the steel bad struck
borne. The child answered nothing ss
she tnrned two wet, reproachful eyes
towards him, who dared not meet their
gaze. Until this instant she had not
known that she possessed a heart. Sbe
learned H now to ber cruel cost.
"I must congratulate Mr. Mainwar
ing," she mid, culling up all ber umnan'ti
prido to ber aid, thin hustt-m-d from the
room tu hide the burst of Uurs. Tho two
were left alone.
"Does she suspect, do you thiuk?" she
sbe. asked, gloating on r bis torture.
"Sho must know," he answered, "I
am ready, Barbara to fulfill my bond.
Let there be no lurtber delay.
"Will jon not, then, plead that I asked
only the pound of 11 sh, without a drop
or blorid, and that your life must pay the
forfeit I demand,
"What can you mean?" be asked in a
bewildered, way.
"Only," she i-ald thnt I plead my1 canse

cannot marry you.
Five minutes since sho would have
thought herself incapable of the sscrifice;
yet here she stood, quiet and calm, giv
ing no outward riga of the inward whirl
pool, nor the torture that wrung her as
she watched the weight lift from his soul
at her words. '

A newly-arrived and singularly-assort

listening with snrprfse (o tbe endless
number of quick questions made to the
hotel clerk about t ruins, rooms nud indi

when the Englishmau broke out with!
"Most extraordinary man; seems tn

if thero is any question about a railway
train or any person that he can't answer?"
"I'll bet bnlf a dozen champagne I'll
put him a question about n train he can't
answer, said tho Westerner.
'Done! I'll stand six to see him go to

"Well, hero goes then," nnd Western
stepped up to the marble counter.
'Say! You appeor to know everything
nnd everybody; who is there that's going

' Charles J. Guiteau; starts 30lh June,

ist right in tbe eye without moving a
muscle.
"Well, I reckon you're about right, but
you can't tell me where I cau go and get
a ticket, can you? '
"Go to the devil!" said the clerk, turn
ing away.
Mister," said tbe Western guest, look
ing over to Ihe blondo doorkeeper, after
the laughter bad subsided, "yon cau
charge six bottles of 'Fiz' in my bill for
the use of them gentlemen, for I must
weaken on this bet, it's agin me." He
withdrew, and the clerk kept answering
.questions about other and more familiar
routes with perfect equanimity.

The worthy dtneon quickly let his an

This landed rauimy in the aisle; the
deacon followed fast, and raised hl.s foot
again; al.ts! that first kick was bis last.
For Mr. Sheep walked slowly back,
about a rod 'tis said, and ere tbo deacon
could rctrait it stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and wont
for thrt 'ere sheip. Several well directed
butts just piled them m a heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door with curses long and loud, while
rauimy struck the hindmost, man nnd
shoved him through the crowd.
Tbe minister had often beard that

The gentleman took a few seconds to

"No, I'll leavo that job for the bang

It appeared that tho proposal suited
