A Mother's VeuzeiiD.ee.
A prouJ, stern man was Geoffrey
Peyton, ond rich witliol, in wealth
nnd honori. He had won distinction
at the bar and on the bench, and had
filled the executive chair of an Eant
orn State. How deeply his proud
hetrt had eufTcred, those fmniliar
only with Lis cold and haughty bonr-
ing would hare been ourpnsoa to
know.
Not vory early in life he married j
one wh m he had long loved with
an urdent devotion, of ton character
istio of men like biro, and of which
woaker natures are incapable In
his early struggles with poverty, he
had kept his love a secret. He
would have suffered his heart to
break sooner than have had it whis
pered ho was Booking advancement
through au alliance with rich old
Itouald Mason s daughter.
l!ut when he could hold up his
head with the highest iu tho land.
he uo longer hesitated to speak the
worda be had been bo many years
waiting to utter, and which Alico
Mason bad been as many wailing to
hear.
A few years of tinalloyod felicity
followed thoir marriage. Though
proud and stern as ever to the out
sido world, not tho sumo man was
Geoffroy Peytou at homo, bis wife by
his aide, ond his bngnt-eyed boy
prattling on hia knee. There he for
got hia prido, save that he fult in
those ho loved, forgot fame, and am
bition, and greatness, ond romember-
ed only that he was happy.
Then camo a blow wincn loll none
the lighter on the proud man's head
because he gave no sign of yielding.
Death erossod his threshold and took
from him first his wife and then his
child.
The last of those bereavements was
peculiarly distressing. The child
went for a walk with his nurse by tue
river side, and in a moment of inat
tention on the pa-t of the nurse, had
strayed out of sight Soon aftor his
hat was found floating on the' water.
Alarm was given i soarch was made ;
the river dragged t but in yaiu. The
child was nowhere to be found. The
body, in all likelihood, had been
borne out by the tido.
Geoffrey Peytnn bore his loss in
silence. What his grief was no ono
knew, for no ous was permitted to
look npon it, and sympathy ho
would havo resented as an imperti
nence.
Years sped, aud Geoffrey Peyton
had become an old man, At his
death, his large fortune would de
scend by law to a distant relative, s
young man whose avarice kept him
free from all costly vices, and who,
most vioes being costly, enjoyed iu
eonsoquence an exoellent reputa
tion.
But Mr. Peyton had opinions of
bis own as to the disposition of his
property. Like many men of bis
caste, he had an aversion to the dis
position of estates i and - while not
inclined to disinherit his kinsman, of
whom he knew nothing but his rep
utation, whioh, we have already said
was good, there waa ens other whore
claims be iolt it would be unjust to
overlook. He bad brought np in
bis house, and in some sort adopted,
Gertrude Gray, tho orphan daughter
of an old friend to whom be had
been beholden in bis day of struggle,
and who had died leaving his ouly
child destitute.
Mr. Peyton's plan, duly set forth
in bis will, was to settle tua proper
ty, in equal portions, on Gertrude
and his kinsman, provided they would
nwry saoi, other In a given penod.

Tho morning papora announced
tho loss of a great steam or. bound for
Sun Francisco. Nearly all on board
hod porished i and among tho names
of tho lost was that of Goorgo If aynos.
Gortrudo Gray swoonod when she
read it, and Mr. Peyton foltnot quite
easy in his conscieuco.
That evening, as he sat moodily in
his study, he waa interrupted by a
visitor, a woman, whoso form, once
tall, was bent with age, ond whoso
wrinkled faco and wild dark eyo had
something sinister in them.
"Fray be seated, ond explain tho
reason of your visit, madam," said
Mr. Peytou, pointing to a chair.
Taking the proffered seat, she re
mained for a time silent, gazing in
tently on tho face before her. Time
had graven doap hues upju it, and
sorrow doeper still. As sua perusod
them, a smile of satisfaction, more
like a shadow than a smile, flitted over
her oountonnnce.
"You had a son once," she said.

A Calcutta tiowsnippr says: The
hoisting into tho wr ond lowering
elephants into tho hold or a ship is
not otilv an unusual sight to moid
men, but also a strango vsperienne to
most elephants. They were lashed
with strong ropes, slung as far as
practicable iu slings, hoisted r:p with
runes with three-feet tackle, and
lowered into tho steamer's hold like
a bale of cotton. When in tho hold
they were placed in p lis, built of
strong teak timber baulks, bolted to
the ship's si do t ) prevent them from
breaking loose. Tbo fjar the animals
suffered wits tha only pain they un
det went, and by watching the eyes of
ths poor leasts their tenor was vory
manifest. Tears trickled down their
mil I countenances, and they roared
with dread, more especially when be
ing lowered into tho hold, tho bot
tom of which was sanded for thorn to

female elephant actually fainted, and
was brought to with a fan uud many
gallons of water. At sea it appear
that tli-y get into a curious habit of

concerted signal setting to work

One day Sim Brown, tho Concord
poddler, drove np to Davis's store ;
but Davis wanted to buy nothing.
"Can't I sell you a clock ? I've
got 'em as cheap as dirt, and real
good ones."
"I haven't got tho money."
"Drat the money 1 I'll take a fair
exchango of anything.'
Davis scratched his head, whereat
Brown continued :
"Com", we'll have a trado Boruo

clocks. What have you got to ex
chango for it 1"
"I've got nothing but a watch."
"Eh 1 a waleh V cried tho tied

Tain t of course, a very good one,
