JOHN EACHETS FORTUNE.
I1Y RL'TU Clli:iTCllFir.I..
It was a cold November evening. The
clouds which had been all day black and
threatening were now beginn.ng to send
their snowllakes through the nlr, and
John Hatchet was hurrying home to
his supper nt a headlong pace. John
worked iu Mr. Armstrong's great iron
foundry, at low wages, it Is true, but,
as John said, "A little is better than
nothing."
There had been a strike among the.
foundry hands, but John took no part
In It; he kept steadily on at his work,
and tried to persuade others to do the
same.
"Times arehard,"ho said, "but what's
the uso of making them worse?" And
that day when the strikers camo In a
body, led by Hans Schneider, nnd at
tempted to stop the works, John said,
"There'll be bloodshed first."
And his former comrades, know ing
him for a resolute fellow, nfter some
parleying, concluded to depart, but
threatened to return another day with
arms In their hands.
"Very well," said John, "we'll be
ready for you." They never canie,how.
over.
But, as I was saying, John was hur
rying along homo at tho top of his
speed 'looking neither to the right nor
the left, so that he would not havo seen
the old man leaning against a lamp-post
if lie had not first run plump against
him, and nearly knocked him over.
'Hallo! beg pardon ! All right now,
grandfather!" he exclaimed, as with
one strong arm he tcstored the old man
to his centre of gravity.
"My stars! I thought von'd finished
me," gasped the old man, embracing
the lamp-post.
"I came pretty near It, that's a fact,"
Bald John. "But seems to me you
shouldn't be out such a night as this;
your folks ought to take better care of
you."
"I haven't any folks," said the old
roan.
"Well, you'd better be at home, any
way.:1
"That's easy said; but I haven't any
home either."
"Where are yon bound then, grand
father? If your lodgings are near by I'll
help you there, for you appear to be
about used up."
"So I am; but I haven't a place to lay
my head unless you take pity on me."
John hesitated. A strange vagrant
wasn't just tho most desirable guest,but
he was evidently old and feeble, and
John's kind heart was touched; so he
said, "Well, come along with me. I'll
givo you a night's lodging, and to-morrow
I'll see what can be done."
The old man needed no second Invita
tion, and in a few minutes the two
reached John's house. No sooner had
he opened the door than tlvo children
and a dog rushed to greet him, while his
wife, an easy, roly-poley little woman,
exclaimed, "Why, John, what makes
you so late? Supper's been ready to go
on tho tabic these fifteen minutes; the
nuilllus won't be fit to eat,"
"I'll risk 'em," said John, laughing.
"See here, Debby, 1'vo brought somo
company home to supper, I found this
old gontlcman out In the storm, with
i no batter place to bring up at than the

lamp-post, so I took hlra In tow, and
hero he Is."
"Ho's welcome, I'm sure," said Deb
by. "Why, his teeth chatter with tho
cold, or would If ho had any, poor
man, and not a bit of mi overcoat. No
place to go, ditl you say? Why, he'd
have froze to death before morning."
"Aye, nnd starved, too," said the
man, looking longingly toward the
table.
"To bo sure! How thoughtless of mo
to stnnd here jabbering when I daiu say
you didn't have any dinner to speak
of."
"Ivo had nothing to eat for two days,
ma'am."
"Mcicy on usl And to think such
things should happen In a Christian
land, John! Isn't it dreadful? Sit right
up to tho table, Mr. what did you say
his name was, John?"
"My namo Is Dill Joshua DID,
ma'am."
"There used to be Dills up In Pa
sumpslo. I wonder if he's ouo of 'cm,"
said Debby.
"Nat cr mind that now," said John.
"UIvo the poor man his supper, and
jou can get his family history after
ward." "Those Dills were sort of relations of
mine. It would be funny If he was one
of 'cm, wouldn't It?" persisted Debby,
as she heaped the old man's plato with
eatables, which ho devoured, unembar
rassed hy the curious aud eager gaze of
tho five children, aud the investigations
of Ponto, who, from the first had re
garded the stranger with evident dis
trust. For this, Ponto probably had no bet
ter reason than that the man was poor
ly clad; for the dog, as you know, Is a
natural aristocrat, and wilt drive away
the man who approaches your door iu
rags and a slouched hat, while he suffers
tho man In broadcloth and a stovc-ptpc
to pass unchallenged. Is it that, by
some subtle instinct, he divines that rags
and filth are apt to be tho reward of 111
dolns, nnd neatness and thrift the re
ward of well-doing?
But good little Mrs. r.atchet did not
nt all sympathize with this view of the
cac, and rebuked Ponto for his want of
hospitality. As aiule.lhe more wretch
ed a human being was. tho more she
took him Into her motherly heart. Ac
cordingly she was greatly delighted
when she found that her present guest
had once had relatives In Pasnmslc, and
iho and all the five children at once took
to calling him "Grandfather Dill."
"Only think, John," said she, when
the old man had gono to bed, "he says
his folks came from Pasunipslc. No
doubt ho Is somo relation to us."
"It must be. a great comfort to find
yourself fortieth cousin to a tramp,"
said John.
Tho next morning Grandfather Dill
was so ill from the effects of ills expos
ure that he. was unable to rise, and what
with the, hot herb teas wih which Mrs.
Hatchet scalded hhn Inside, and the
mustard plasters with which she flayed
him outside, It was a wonder he ever did
rise; but in a few days he was able to
sit In the great arm-chair in the corner,
and began to talk about resuming his
wandeilngs again.
For this, however, he was manifestly
too feeble, and John went to the town
authorities to get them to take him off
his hands. They all with one accord
declared that he was none of their pau
per, that they werti already overrun with
tramps, and that tho only thing they
felt justified In doing was to forward
him to Littleton, where he stated that
he belonged.
But Mrs. Hatchet In her turn was
equally decided that lie should not be
moved In his present condition, nnd
John quite agreed with her. So Grand
father Dill stayed on and on, till It be
came evident that he never would take
the journey to Littleton, or any other
journey hut tho last long journey which
awaits us all.
Meantime, John's conduct elicited
various comments from his towns-people
some nraiscd and some blamed.
nans Schneider said, "I always
thought John was a fool, and uow I
know it, burdening himself with a pau
per in these hard limes, He'll come to
the poorhouse himself yet, see If he
don't."
As Grandfather Dill grew weaker, he
had, or seemed to have, some strange
fancies. He often muttered the name
of "Priscy," coupled with tho words,
"She shan't have a cent of it!" and at
last one day ha askej Johu to bring the
notary to make his will.
"I am going to make It in favor of
you and your wife," said he; "you've
both been good to me, and she was a
Dill, or her mother was; and as for
Priscy" there lm stopped.
"Who Is Pilscy?" asked John.
"Nobody; I don't know any sncb per
son. Bring the notary."
At first John put him off, for he did
not wish to offend the notary by askln;
him to come anil make a pauper's will;
hut the old man was so persistent that
for the rake of quieting him he finally
acceded to his request, and tho will was
duly made, signed, sealed and delivered
"If there is any truth in this, you're
a rich man," said the notary' to John.
After this Grandfather Dill seemed
satisfied, though ho failed rapidly: but
a few minutes before he died ho mur
mured, "Poor Priscy! Perhaps she
wasn't so much to blame, after all."
That tho property so liberally be
queathed to him existed anywhere hut
In Grandfather Dill's Imagination, John
did not believe, and but for the notary
would scarcely have given the matter
another thought; but the notary said
the old man had clven the Items of tho
will with great precision, which was in
itself an Indication of Its truthfulness,
and that It was very easy to find out
whether there was anything In It or not.
For his part, hu thought It worth look
lng Into.
John said It was his opinion that the
SI. 00
If
old man had nothing but the rag) on his
back, but still, as Mr, Armstrong was
about to scud him away on a business
commission, ho could easily take In Lit
tleton on hh route, thereby "killing two
birds with one stone," as he Jestingly
observed.
To his unbounded surprise, and to the
equal surprise of the Littleton ppoplc.ho
ascertained through a lawyer that tho
seeming pauper was Indeed the owner
of thousands.
He had no relations lu that town, nor
was It known that he had any elsewhere.
He was not a native of Littleton, how
ever, but had come, It was believed,
from J'umfrctl so to Pomfrct went
John.
Nouo of tho younger generation re
membered any Dills, but some of the
older ones knew that there had once
been such a family, though they had
long since lost all knowledge of them.
"If aii)body can tell you about them,
old Granny Madison can," said the
landlord of tha Eaglo. llolfl. "She
knowa everything. She's a regular
'History of Potnfret' In ono volume."
And so It proved.
"Do I remember Mr. Dill Joshua
Dill?" said tho old lady. "To bo sure
I do. He was one of our leading citi
zens once, but nfter he quarrelled with
I1I3 daughter ho was all broken up."
"Then he had a daughter?"
"Yes; a stubborn, headstrong piece
as over lived, and wild and heedless be
sides. He couldn't do anything with
her after her mother died. At last he
got so angry at something, I never
could find out precisely what, that he
scolded her worse than common, mid she
threatened to go off and leave him to
himself. He told her to go If she want
ed to, hut sho should never come back
if she did.
"Ho didn't expect she'd go, but sho
went, nnd nobody Knows that they ever
saw each other again. Mahala Blunt,
that kept house for him, told the story,
all she knew of It, and she said It was
pitiful to seo him after she'd gone.
He'd steal out to tho gate, and look up
and down the road half a dozen times In
an evening, nnd she knew he wns look
ing for Priscy."
"Priscy!" said John.
"Yes; her name was Prlscilla, you
know. But Priscy never came, and by-and-by
he seemed to give It up, and af
ter that the only object he had In the
world appeared to bo to save and hoard
money. And It didn't do hhn any good
either, for he wouldn't even allow him
self enough to eat, nor Mahala neither.
At last she said sho couldn't stand it
any longer, and she left hhn, and by-and-by
he sold out and went nobody
knows where."
"And the daughter?"
,"Oh, mo3t likely shu'sdead! There's
been a good many stories alio it about
her, but come to sift them they didn't
amount to much."
Then John thanked tho old lady for
her Information, and having, In his
turn, told her what he know of Mr.
Dill, took his leave.
When John reported to Mr. Hatch,
bis lawycr.the very meagre Information
he had gathered at Pomfrct, that gen
tleman said: "It Isn't of the slightest
consequence, sir; nil the relations Iu tho
world couldn't upset the will, which is
perfectly legal."
John smiled. "I suppose the best
way to ascertain whether the daughter
Is living would be to advertise, wouldn't
it?" he asked.
"Doubtless it would; but what do you
want to ascertain for? You'llonly make
trouble for yourself."
"It seems to me the right thing to
do," said John; "and, a? I don't under
stand much about such matters, I will
get you to attend to It for me, and send
me word if you hear anythiug."
"Of course I will attend to It if such
aro your orders; but miad, sir, It Is not
by my advice, and I decline to be held
responsible for tho consequences,"
"I hold no ono responsible but my
self," said Johu.
The news of John's fortune reached
homo before be did, and and he at onco
became a very Important personage In
the village. Not only did bis old friends
flock around him with congratulations,
but those who had formerly overlooked
tbo poor mechanic entirely, suddenly
discovered that he was a man of extra
ordinary merit. Mr. Armstrong ex
pressed joy at his good luck; at the same
time he said, "I don't see bow I am to
get alouj without you."
'Terhapa you won't have lo," said
John. "I mean to keep right ou with
my work nt present."
As for Mrs. Hatchet, sho declared it
was like a fairy story. Sho would have
a new silk dress before anolher Sunday.
"Who would have dreamed when you
brought that old man home that it would
end like this?" .
"It hasn't ended," said John.
"There, that's just like you," said
Debby, "you're never excited whatever
happens. Now I feel just like dancing
and clapping my hands."
And Debby executed a ptrouette
which was the means of btluglng her
foot down upon Ponto's tall. He ran
under tho tablo with a yelp, and she
dragge'd him out and petted him,saylng,
"Nevermind, Ponto; you shall have a
beautiful new collar, with a silver label,
so you shall."
"Dubby," said John, "If anything
should happen that this money should
turn out not to' be ours after all, would
It ho such a terrible disappointment to
you?"
"Oh, John, what do youincanf" said
Debby.
"Grandfather Dill had a daughter,"
said John. "Do you remember his last
words?"
"Yes let me see. He said, 'Poor
Priscy!' Perhaps she wasn't so much
to blame, after nil!"
"Well, Priscy was his daughter. If
she U alive, her father's money Is right
fully hers."
U Year if Paid in Advance.
not paid in advance, $L2f
"In spite of thn will.'"
"In spite of tho will," said John.
"But she may be dead. I hope sho Is.
OLordy! I didn't mean to cay that."
And Debby clapped her hand oyer l.er
mouth as If lu krap back the wicked
words. "But to think of belu as poor
as ever again after all our plans nnd
hopes! Why didn't you tell mo there
was a doubt about It hi the first place?"
"Because )ou went 011 so you didn't
give me time," said John. "Besides, It
Isn't really settled that wo give up tho
money even If Priscy Is alive."
"How Is anybody golng.to know what
)oumeau?" said Debby. Impatiently.
"Didn't you Just say It was rightfully
hers In spite of the will?"
"Yes; and I think it li rightfully,
though not legally. Now I am going to
leavo it for you to decide; but first make
tho case your own. Suppose your father
had leftafortunc,niid had wllleJ It away
from you to comparative strangers?"
"That's what you call leaving it to
mo to decide." said Debby. "You put
It so there's only one thing I can say,
and then ask me to decide. Oh. Ponto,
Ponto! it's very plain you will never 15c t
your new collar, nor I myncwsllk, after
all, not If she's in the world."
'Then you wouldn't liko to keep the
money fromGranfathorDllls'udauohter?'
"Of course I shouldn't. How foolish
yon do talk, John!"
Three mouths afterwards John
received a dispatch from lawyer Hatch
which caused him to take a second
Journey. The advertisement had been
answered by a woman who proved her
self to bolho missing daughter of Grand
father Dill beyond a doubt.
She was a poor widow, and supported
herself and little boy by coarse sewing, j
A wretched support it afforded her, and
she was found living ln'a tenement attic,
with health anil spirits broken by mis
fortune. She said, that sho had long since
repented her folly In leaving her father,
and had onco gone back to hor early
home to bo reconciled to him, but tho
place was then in the hands of strangers.
After that she had beep unablo to learn
anything of him, and had believed him
long since dead. Such was the story
John brought homo to his wife.
"I'm sure It was a proyldence that
led me to run against Grandfather Dill
that stormy night," said John; "but for
that his daughter would surely havo
died of her hardships, and the poor little
boy would havo been left to charity,
which was what she most dreaded. But
then I suppose there's a providence In
everything."
"Ho's the stangest man I ever saw,"
said Lawyer Hatch, speaking of John.
"Ho took as much pains to hunt up an
heir to the old man, and to glvo her tho
money that was willed to him, as any
body else would to havo kept ono out of
tho way."
"I declare, ho's a bigger fool than I
took him to be!" said Hans Schneider;
"aud that's saying a good deal.'
Perhaps somo of my readers will agree
with Hans; but many, I know, will
think as I do, that John was an uncon
scious hero.
A ItE3UIiT OF EDUCATION.
Jim Webster was heard calling across
the fence to a neighbor's son, a colored
youth, who goes to school on Koblnson
hill.
'Look hyar, boy, you goes to school,
don't yer?'
'Yes, sir,' replied tha boy.
'Gcttln' eddykasun, alnt ve.r?'
'Yes, sir.'
Learning 'rlthmctlc and figuring on
a slate, ch?'
'Yes. sir.'
'Well, It doesn't take two whole days
to make an hour, do It?'
'Why 110!' exclaimed the boy.
'You was gwlne ter bring 4 at hatchet
back In au hour, wasn't yen"
Yes, sir.'
'And Its been two whols days -since
you borrowed It. Now what good's
ed.lykasun gwln ter do you, whrn you
go to school a whole yar an den can't
tell, how Ioug It takes to fotch tack a
hatchet.'
The boy got mad, and slung tho
hatchet over the fence and half way
through tho ash barrel.
When yon doubt, abstain.
Hold falthtulnsjs and sincerity as
first principles.
A hnmhlo duty faithfully performed
Is a sweet aorsol forever.
It Is easy to be glad, but It Is a very
different matter to be thankful,
If the will bo set In virtue there will
be no paictlco of wickedness.
What do we livo for, If not to make
life less difficult to each other.
