TERMING THE TABLES

Breakfast had just
_been 'cleared away
and the little sitting-room WAS very bright
and cheerful in the yellow flood of the
April sunshine. There were puts of purple
blossomed violets in the window seat, and
a blue-ribboned guitar lying on the sofa,
sad books piled on the table, and 'close by
the fire Mrs. Haven had seated herself at
her desk to write some letters.
she was a•trim, compact little woman,
with bright brown hair and eyes to match,
and a resolute mouth that somehow car
ried out the expres.sibn of a nose, that our
French. neighbors 'phrase ."retrousse."—
Mary Haven had a character that you
might see at a distance.
As• she sat there selectitg her pen, and
unscrewing. the silverlop of heriukstand,
the door opened very softly, and a round
hill-mooned face appeared.
"Mrs. Haven, mem. if you please."
"Yes," said Mary Haven, descrying at
once by the infallible barometer of a wo
maesear the rising thunder storm in the
domestic atmosphere below. "What is' it,
cook ?"
"It's not that von are not a kind mis
tress, inem;" said the cook, twisting the
hennt-her check apron, "am' the wages

liridget's yoke broke with Celtic ac

"Please, ma'am, I found th ia little black
book behind the flour barrel."
"Thank von, Bridget; it is Mr. Ha
ren's."
She glanced mechanically at its pages
to Bridget disappeared. The column de-
voted to that day was full of closely writ
ten memoranda :
"See Kartwyn & Dalcey about the
house in 12th street ; do not let them

Mary haven read the words without
much interest, but presently her eyes
brightened, and a roguish suspicion of a
smile began to trembletaround her reso

"I am very glad I found this memoran

lier bonnet and shawl were on long be
fore the vehicle arrived, and she employ
ed the surplus time in jotting down var
riot's addresses from the directory.
When at length the carriage arrived,
she took her seat with the self-possession
of a queen.
"Drive to Kartwyu & Dalcey's, No. 123
street."
•
Ittf. liarrwyn came to his orrice door, a
dried up little lawyer, much astonished at
the 'unexpected apparition of a pretty
woman in a carriage.
"Good morning, Mr. Kartwyn !" said
Mary, mlmly. •J...ttua..,Mr4.,Aaven. I
called: to ik ydu kriow that Yrecitfild have

dollars a year. I suppose you are aware
that the property belongs to me!''
Mr. Kartwyn bowed sow, delighted
with the bargain he was about to secure.
"And now drive to McAllister's carpet
store," said Mrs. Haven.
She walked in with cool self-posses
sion,
"Mr. Haven has concluded to take th 6
buff oil-cloth," she said. - • -
"Mr. McAlliiter stared, but entered the
order in his books.
"I will send it round immediately."
"Now the tailor," thought Mary.
Snip & Scissors had an elegant estab
lishment on a side street, just out. of
Broadway. Mary walked up to the coun
ter calmly.
"Mr. ilaven's bill receipted, it yoti

The presented the document,
which was promptly paid.
"Where now, =am," said the driver.
"Mr.Jordan'ti real estate agency, oppo

"Ah, Mrs. Haven, is it you ?". said the
agent cheerfully. "What can I do for you
this morning?'
"Nothing, thanks,"said Mary, gracious
ly. "I came round to tell 'you that my
lithband has thought better of the Ceti-;
trait Park lot. He will not take half."
"All right," said Jordan. "Smyth and
Parker, are only waiting for the chance.

"I don't think rye done quito mischief

go down to the office now, turn the stove
around and pave Jack re-arrange the law

So the carriage left Mrs.X.arsn.pt, her

"The mischief she did!"
"I hope there is no mistake, sir ?" ask

"N—o," returned honest Henry, dis
consolately, adding to himself as he turn
ed away, "What has got into Dlary ? is
she crazed ?"
All thin g B considered, it was not strange
that Mr. Haven was in no amiable humor
by the time he reached Snipp tt, Scissors.'
"I'd like to know what you mean by
sending home such garments?' he de
manded imperiously. "I won't wear 'ern,
unless they are made over completely, nor
will I pay Lite bill F'
"Sir !" demanded the surprised tailor,
"you are aware that our rule i 3, no alter
ations after the bill is settled!"
"Very well, your bill isn't settled, and
it won't be either, in a hurry!"
"Mrs. Haven paid it, sir this morning,"
said the surprised tailor, referring to his
books. •
Mrs. Haven ! How the uncalled-for-in
terference of "Mrs. Haven" stared him in
the face at every step. Of course there
were no remonstrance to be made, how.
ever, and the discomfitted husband left
the establishment.
"I'll stop in at Jordan's any way," he
thought. "and secure that lot; it will be a
capital spec n lat ion."
Mr. Jordan was standing whistling in
front of his gate with both hands in his
pockets. He looked up as Henry Haven
entered.
"Well, old. fellow ?"
"Suppose we clear np this business
about that Central Park lot," said Haven
carelessly, "don't think I can do any bet
ter."
"Your decision comes late, said Jordan
shrugging his shoulders. "I signed over
to Smythe & Parker half an hour ago."
"And by whose authority ?"
,M r. Haven's brow was darkening.
"Mrs. ,ilaven's. She was here a little
while ago, and tlld me you would not
take the half-lot."
"Mr. Haven bit his lips! this was really
growing a little provoking. He left the
real estate office a little abruptly, and went ,
directly to his own place.
But had he not been tolerably certain of
his own number, he would Tilt have rec
ognized the rooms. Two men were on
their knees, diligently hammering down
the hard buff oil-cloth. Jack, the office
boy, had turned the stove around, ID that

"Yes, my dear Jones ve. Brown ; he

Henry, the confusion of your papers is

'Confusion, madam! I tell yea they

•Mary, are you crazy ? It is scarcely
becoming for a woman thus to usurp her
hatband's placer
"We are a firm, my dear, at least so you
told' me this morning—Henry - Haven' &
Wife—and therefore our interests are
identical,"
"Yes, but—"
"Consequently," went on Mary,mimick
ing her husband's rather pompous voice
of the morning, "I shall beg the priva
lege of interfering whenever I deem it ad
visable."
Mr. Haven looked frowningly at his
wife, but the wrinkles vanished out of his
forehead as the smiling sunshine of Mary's
eves.
. -
"My dear," said he. "It is rather late
to transact any business to-day. Shall we
walk house together ?"
And Mr. Haven must have left his "in
terference" principles at the office, for
Mary never saw any more of them. Nei
ther husband nor wife ever alluded to the
the subject again, but Mr. Haven was
cured of his one bad habit. Mary's sin
gle. stratagem was worth a thousand re-
MOM trances.

• The old-prison stood on the spot where
now the massive granite court house is
placed. From it. the street was very ear
'ly named Prison lane, changed to Queen
street in 1708, and to Court in 1784.
..What the old prticiti was like is left to
conjecture, but we will let an old master
of the imaginative art describe it: "The
rust on the ponderous iron work of its
oaken door looked more antique than
anything else in the New liTorld.—
Like all that pertains to crime, it 'seems
never to have know a youthful era." The
fancy of Hawthorn in locating a bloom
ing rose bush on the grass plot beside the
prison door is striking. Here were con
fined the victims of the terrible witch
craft delusion.

"Who is het one that for lack of land
Shall fight upon the water.
To is heavy door stood between tne no
toridus pirate, William Kidd, and liberty.
He arrived in Boston in June, 1699, with
his sloop, and was examined before the
Earl of Bellemont and the council of the
province. On the 6th of June Kidd:was
seized and committed to prigon.lwith sev
eral of his crew, and his vessel taken pos
session of. When arrested,Kidd attempt
ed to draw his sword' and defend himself.
By order of the King he was sent to'Eng
land in a frigate, and arrived in London
April 11, 1100. lie• was examined be
fore the Admiralty, an 3 afteriver•as be
fore the House of Lords, where great ef
forts were made to implicate the Earl of
Bellemont and otherof the lords in Kidd's
transactions.
The pimte,after a long confinement,was
finally hung at Executive Dock. He died
hard. The rope broke the first time he
was tied op, end he fell to the ground; a
second trial proved more successful.
It has been claimed that Kidd was not
a pirate. He was an officer in the Brit
ish Navy prior to 1691, married in this
country and ha commanded a_merchant
ship owned by Robert Livingstone, a
wealthy New York merchant. When in
1695, the coast of New nigland was in
fested with pirates, Livingstone propos
ed to the Earl of Bellemont, to employ
Kidd to go in pursuit of them, and offer
ejto share the expenses of fitting out a
inset. Application was made to the
Home. Government for a thirty-gun ship
and commission for Kidd for this pur
pose, but the Government being then un
able to furnish a vessel, the Earl of Belle
moat, Lords Halifax, Somers, Romney,
Oxford and others, contributed, with Liv
ingstone, to fit Kidd out in the Adven
, tare Galley. He received a , commission
from the Court of Admiralty ip,Decem
ber7l69s,antborized him to cruise against'
the King's enemies.
Once at sea, Kid& turned pirate, re
versing;the adage, "Set a rogue to catch
a rogue," and made several captures: but
his exploits preceded him, and on return
to _New trigland he , was arrested. ,The
search after the pirate's hidden treasures
has continued ever since. A pot of dol
lars was dug up in 1790 on Long Island,
supposed, to havebeen Kidd's. The fate
of the freebooter has often been lamented
in the melancholy ditty—
"My name was Captain Kid, as I sailed," ere.
Uncontrollable Fits of Loving
In Louisville, Ky., a short time since, a
young man laid siege to the 'heart of a i •
young lady, a resident of that city, who '
ultimately surrendered the fortress unto,
his keeping. A day was appointed for
the nuptials, friends were invited, gOod
things to eat and drink were provided,
and all the concomitants fur well-regulat
ed weddings were prepared. 'rho day
came. the guests came, but the bridegroOm
—"the young man from the country"—
came not.
The mother of the bride that was to be
went and interviewed the son-in-laW that
shoUldhave been. She told him 'of her
daughter—how, like Amy, in "Locksitsy.
Hall," her "cheek was pale and thinner
than 'should be for one so yOriug," and
how she was pining away from disappoint-,
inept and grief. The young man observ
ed, deprecatingly, that the young lady'
had never been very fat, but the would-be
mother-in-law parried this thrust and rep
resented to him the impropriety of his
conduct in such moveing termi. that he
felt bound to apologize. Ile accordingly
told the old lady that he was sorry to have .
grieved and disappointed her daughter
and herself, but that lie was, the subject,
of uncontrollable fits of loving, and when
one of these came upon him he could not
keep from courting somebody. Thi'f, he
said, was a disease, and that he was in no
sense responsible for anvthnig, he did
while this temporary madness• was upon
him. It ho had, under the . power of this
malady, made love to her dauiliWr;
was sorry fur if, lint - he could not help it.
If she doubted his word he said, he could
! bring hundreds of physician§ toi.prete
that - finch a disease existed, and hundreds
of his aconaintenauces to prove that' lie
I hail it. The lady' from Louisville Went
home a sadder if not wiser woman. Be
fore she left she expressed gl'eat sYtripa
thrfor the young fmui.obSoriiing that "it
was such a pity he nould not be Mimi."
AT Bridgeport, Conn., recently,n
'iceman was instructed to look after :the
boys who -violated the city. ordinance
against coasting in the el recto. Haepres.
ently saw two boys preparing for "a go,"
one of whom got away,• the: policeman
giving chase; "Here' said the other boy
to the policeman, "take my sled, it will go
faster - than: and you Silt .catch
him I" •In ari instant the ambitious peeler
threw himselt on the•aled, and sown cane
up -with and arrested the offendero . The
jostle° heard the testimony, and. was
About to inflict the fine,rwhenwthe other
