Mr. Anson, senior, spent six
nsoiplis on the plains and in Califor
nia ; and made a discovery on the re
turn trip. Mopping lor a few days
in Chicago, he accidentally learned
"f the existence of a distant rela
tive 01" Lis deceased wife's, a ffirl
whose parents had not Ion? before
died, leaving the danghter dependent
upon her own exertions for support.
Mr. Anson sought her out: finding in
Flora Mightmay a pretty, intelligent
o;ii I of eighteen, holding a position as
teacher in one of the public schools,
lie Avas charmed with her and nt
once offered her a home.
"F.iit 1 should dislike to be a bur
den to anybody," interposed the in
dependent young lady.
"The obligation would be on the
other side," replied Mr. Anson; "I
ilia rich and have only one relative
a son, who is in Europe. He will
be home soon. Roth of us have had
our fill of travelling, and will Avant to
settle doAvn in a home. Ry making
yourhoine with us you will add to it
:i social attraction, relieve it of bcin?
a bachelor's hall, and we'll all
be as happv as larks together."
The outlook Avas certainly alluring'
to the lonely orphan, ami she accept
ed the offer, returning to Ncav York
with Mr. Anson.
Thcreypon tin old mansion was
renovated, refurnished, and soon be
came the heatlquarurs of a brilliant
social clique. Flora at once took her
place as a favorite, and Mr. Anson
was proud of his pretty protege.
As the return of Robert Anson Avas
now daily expected, it may lie well
to follow him on his transatlantic
voyage. He had hardly embarked
at Liverpool before his eyes fell upon
the. form of a decidedly handsome
s.nd dashing Avontan. A widow
anybody could have told that by her
dash of manner and her a'r of inde
pendence. Not much past.llprty,
and at the ren'th of her charms, sbe
was really a bewildering creature.
S- Robert thought at first fiirht, and
so he found her upon acquaintance.
A Mrs. Morrow she proved to be, and
she was alone and unprotected on her
voyage, which had been made to vis
it some distant relatives in Tvnsrland.
The steamer consumed wine davs in
its passage. On the first Robert
managed to train a sjieakincr acquain
tance. On the second he had im
proved it so far as to be on easy chat
ting terms, nnd before the third he
was enslaved. They walked -the
decks by moonlight on the fourth and
fifth; and before the seventh their
billing and cooing had attracted the
attention of the paspengers. On the
eighth Robert proposed and was ac
cepted, and on the ninth they reached
Ncav York.
Mrs. MorroAV OAvned a little house
in Rronklyn, and had a modest in
come from property left by her hus
band. To her homo Robert sbav her
safely conveyed, and then cough t his
own. 1 he changes there astonished
him, for his father had kept it all as
an agreeable surprise.
"Robert," said Mr. Anson, as he
welcomed him, "do you recognize
the dingy old house V
' Scarcely, father," Avas the reply;
"everything is new, bright, and cheer
ful. What does it mean?"
"A woman."
"Married?"
"No, no; but hush! There comes
the cause of it all. Clara, this is my
son Robert."
Russibly the widoAV, had she seen
the impression thnt Clara produced
on her lover, AVjuld have felt less se
cure in hr conquest; for Clara had
improved in spirits since her resi
dence Aviih Mr. Ai.ssn nnd was
even prettier than when she first came
there.
That night, over a social bottle of
AVine. the father explained to the son
the manner in which he had found
Clara, nnd the light and happiness
that she had brought to their
home.
"And I have formed a plan in ref
erence to her," concluded Mr. Anson.
ESTABLISHED, 1897.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 1874.
"What is it?" asked Kobcrt.
"You shall marry her."
"I m possible." s
"WLy?"
Thus brought to the point, llobert
confePed his engagement to Mrs
Morrow.
"How old is phe?" asked Mr. An
son. "Thirty." '
"And you arc twentysix how ab
surd ! l'eoplo will laugh at you.
Clara is young, pretty and I know she
will love you."
"But I love the widow."
Nonsense."
"Fatter!" :
"There, my bor, dou't take offence.
and a widow at that is absurd. Yon
I think you do, but you don't. Now
j I'll tell yo what I'll do. Not anoth
er word shall he said on the subject
, for a month. At the end of that
! time, if you persist in marrving Mr?.
jMorrow, I shall marry Clara rav-
I h-elf."
i ' I ngrec," replied Robert.
j The month passed quickly, and at
) its close the situation was about like
this: llobert was fenced between
love for Clara and his duty to the
widow; Clara was deeply in lovo
with Robert; Mrs. : Morrow was
troubled by a certain falling off in her
lofcr's ardor; and Mr. Anson, who
had steadily refused to see the
widow,-hoped f-r the best for his plan.
j The father and son met after sup
per. "Well, Hobert," said the former,
t me montn is un. nat nave vou
decided npon doing?"
"We have always made confidents
of each other," began llobert.
'Certainly ?"
"And I will not hide anything
from you now. I love Clara and be
lieve she loves inc ; but I am engag
ed to Mrs. Morrow, and cannot hon
orably break the engagement."
"Then leave the matter entirely to

on a hich she also gracefully sank.
Mr. Anson had made up his mind to
be 1 tef and business like; bnt the
gorpi'ous widow quite npset bini be

ject i f his ton's engagement They
cam to speak of hitu naturally at
last, however, and the widow saw
her opoortuuity. . -
"You love my son f" lie, began.
"What a' question, Mr. Anson."
she replied, showing her perfect
teeth in a beAvitehing smile; "am I
going to marry ?"
"I hope not."
"Sir," and even the widoAv's pret
ty smile captivated him.
"I beg your pardou," he added,
crestfallen, "I mean that I came to
talk the matter over with you. Do
you think the match is altogether a
good one ?"
"I see, and her eyes dropped ap
propriately, "you object because,
because I am comparatively poor."
' Indeed I do not. The financial
aspect of the affair has never been
considered by me."
The AvidoAV here pierced him Avith a
look of gratitude.
"It Avas the difference in '"ho
stammered.
"In social posit'on?" suggested the
widow.
"No no "
"Ah! I see you mean in age''
"Ues," h"! replied sheepishly, "you
have divined the reason, and I wi 11
be perfectly frank with you. My son
is very dear to inc. and it has been
the dream of my life to see him hap
pily married to some beautiful and
loving Avotnan."
Here the widoAV turned her glori
ous eves full upon Mr. Anson, and
managed to sIioav her arm, which hap
pened to be encased in a loose sleeve.
It avjis a particularly round smooth
arm, and as Avhitc as possible.
"I beg your pardon," hastily con
tinued Mr. Anson, "1 kntnv that you
are good, beautiful nnd loveable,
but ! "
"Rut I am too old I am thirty.
Not so very old either, although I do
feel older than Robert. My love for
him has been largely of the guardian
sort I have petted and admired
him as a mother might. And he
i "
io, i .i mi
I'.ut not exactly as he should a
wife. He loves another Avoman not
a handsomer and better one, my dear
madam but one younger and better
suited to be his wife."
r The Avidow burst into tears pre
sumably, at least, as she buried her
eves iii her handkerchief, and her
bosom rore and fell tumnltuously.
The AvidoAVir's courage quite forsook
him at this to him unexpected crisis.
A pretty woman in tears is a melting
object, and the effect upon the Avidow-
er Avas all that Mrs. MorroAV conld
have desired. Mic sank down on the
sofa in her grief, very close to him,
He wanted to console her, and so he
took her hand. It Avas white, soft
au'Lwarm.
"I'leasc don't cry," he said : "I
have offended and grieved you. Pray
forgive me."
"There don't pity me," said the
Avidow, in a trembling but musical
voice; "lean bear it, I have only
Roberts welfare and happiness at
heart if ho can be happy I ought to
be contented."
"Then you release him ?"
"Certainly."
"And loose a fortune you are a
noble Avoman."
"What is money to me? I am alone
and unloved I shall be happy in
ihe consciousness of having sacrificed
myself for your foil"
"He Avill appreciateyour sacrifice,"
and Mr. Anson wiped a tear from
each of his eyes.
Hero Mrs Morrow wept afresh and
her head sank upon ho widowers
shoulder.
Her form thook convulsively, and
he put his arm around her waist to
support her.
"My dear madam," ho said, " I !
cannot find it in my heart to take
Robert from you."
"Robert," ehe sobbed, I shall nerer
see him again. I have nothing left
to desire butyour respect and eateem
Without these I should indeed be on
happy."
Mr. Anson drew her closer t
him so close that she lay trembling
on his breast, and pressed a kiss to
her forehead.
"You have both" he said, "and my
deepest admiration."
"Then I am content. let Robert
marrr thj girl of his choice. I only
claim the privilege of retaining an in
tercst in his welfare, and a corner in
your esteem.'
Mr. Anson promised, as he bade
the widow adieu at the door, to call
again soon. And he kept his promise
so well that the next evening found
him there again.
"Victory!" murmured the widow
as she heard him enter the hall; "he
will propose to me before he leaves
to-night. Robert is a very pretty
fellow, but he is inconstant. The fath
er is handsome, infatuated with mc
already and the money is all his. I
prefer the father."
She proved reliable in her predic
tion. Before her caller had kissed
her good night he had offered her
hand, heart and fortune, and she had
accepted all three.
The result was a double wedding,
and snbsequent happiness for all con
cerned. Mr. Anson was a devoted
husband, Mrs. Morrow made him a
faithful and affectionate wife; while
both parentally watched over the
younger couple. Altogether so clev
erly fooled by the widow, Mr. Anson
never suspected it and never had
cause for regret.

The "Child Vlollalat."
A Roston despatch to the New
York Timr: The bright little tel
low known to theater-goers in New
York as well as here "as the child
violinist" died during last night very
suddenly, of heart disease. He was
one of the most attractive features of
the representation of the Naiad
Queen, now on the Roston Theatre
stage, playing his violin and leading
the orchestra nightly, with all the
vivacity and spirit of an adult leader,
lie went through his part as usual
yesterday afternoon, and it was only
as he came off the stage that Mr.
Shewell, the manager of the Roston
Theatre, noticed a look of fatigue
and an air of languor in the lad.
Laying his hand kindly in the little
fellow's shoulder, he ask him if he
was ill, but he answered cheerfully
that he ay as all right, though a little
tired. Mr. Shewell, however, advis
ed him not to come to the perform
ance in the evening, and cautioned
his father against bringing him. Ac
cordingly he staid at home at his
lodging last night, but much against
his will, persisting that' nothing ailed
him. lather and son retired early,
the lad being bright and cheerful and
complaining of n bad feeling. Rut
early in the night the father Avas
awakened by the sound of the lad's
voice, and says be distinguished, after
Avaking, some such words as these :
"Merciful God, make room for a little
fellow." Supposing the lad was talk
ing in his sleep, he spoke to him with
the intention ot rousing him, but re
ceived no answer. Then he became
alarmed, and shouting to the boy, he
discovered Avith grief and horror that
he was dead, lie Avas a bright and
handsome child, a marvel of musical
precocity, and a perfect enthusiast in
his profession, as those who have
seen him at Niblo's, in New York,
can testify.' He Avas passionately
fond of music, and it was his constant
thought his life. His name was
James (1. Spraiht. He Avas bora in
England, and came to this country
with his father about two years ago.
He was not quite seven years of age.
He was a general favorite with the
company at the Roston Theatre, and
was petted and praised by every
body. A Disheartened Life I neurone Agent.
A family named Kemper moved

cy for Mr. Kemper. Mrs. Kemper came
down to the parlor to see him.
"I suppose," said Guen, 'Mr.
Kemper has no insurance on his
life."
"No," said Mrs. Kemper.
"Well, I'd like to get him to take
out a policy in our company. It's
the safest in the world; the largest
capital, smallest rates, and biggest
dividends."
"Mr. Kemper don't take much in

Mrs. K.
"Well, madam, but he ought to,
in common justice to you. No man
knows when he will die, and by pay
ing a ridiculous small sum now, Mr.
Kemper can leave his family iu afflu

a few pamphlets containing statis
tics upon the subject; may I ?"
"Of course, if yeu wish to."
"Don't you think he can be induced
to insure?" asked Ounn.
"I hardly think so," replied Mrs.
Kemper.
"He is in good health, I suppose!
Has he complained lately of being
sick ?"
"Not lately."
"May I ask if he has any consider

"Not a cent."
"Then of course he must insure,

"Very steady.'"

"I dou't think you can," replied
Mrs. K.
"Why ? When will he bo home?
I'll call on Lim. I don't knoA any
reason why I shouldn't insure him."
"I know" replied Mrs. K.
"Why ?"
"He has been dead twenty-seven

Miss Jennie Collins has written a
letter to the Roston Advertiser in
defense of the sewing women of that
city, and giving reasons why they do
not bestow more attention to general
house-work when there is such a sur
plus of labor in the shops and such a
dearth of labor in the households.
She says evsry day demonstrates the
advantage gained by the wealth pro
ducing women vt Roston, from the
fact that their "cause" was never
managed by local politicians, although
a presistent, yet unsuccessful, effort
had been made for the controll of that
important army of workingpeople.
She infers that from the very nature
of their social life and their varied in
terests, tastes and habits, politicians
would be the most unfit persons to med
dle with them. In order to remove
some of the erroneous imprassions
that prevail in reference to the shop
girls. Miss Collins deems it necessary
to state in the first place this position
sinco the great fire. Twenty wholesale
clothing bouses were burned down
at that time, each of which had given
employment to from 200 to COO wo
men. That number added t the
vast custom trade, drawing its cus
tom from all parts of Xew England,
ill count 18,000 females employed
on clothing alone, representing every
grade of intelligence and taste, yet
mingling together with apcrfect dem
ocratic spirit. There side by side,
may be sees the child who formerly
begge;. its bread, but Avho is now an
ex? -c.-i in the uasiness. and the cnild
v. uo was carried to school in the arms
of a servant, but who escaping the
slavery of fashionable life, is now
working out a happier destiny, ren
dered easier, perhaps, by her happy
caiiabood. Mill no one of them is
obliged to mingle with disagreeable
persons; yet, on the other hand, firm
friendships are formed among the
several classes, especially among
those who are well paid.
The wages of the Avomen range
from $4 to $20 a week, and Miss Col
bns instances the case of a girl in i
Chauncy street shop who has made
$35, and once her check was $40 for
ten clays. Jhese most be retained
at any cost, and those who work for
smaller wages are less valuable be
cause tuey take up as much room
and are more care than three times
the number of women who know their
business. There is great pressure
brought to bear upon employers to
take little girls of say. tea years of
age, who thus have early instilled in
to ther minds habits of punctuality,
economy, and industry. Out of 400
women tailorestes, 200 live at home,
very much to the advantage of all
parties concerned and the public gen
erally; thirteen of every hundred are
the entire support of somebody else,
and twenty-five oat of every hundred
are assisted by relatives. The wri
ter indignantly denies that employ
ers encourage bad habits among their
female help by making improper sug
gestions when thej offer low wages
she very properly considering such a
charge unjust to honorable men and
exceedingly damaging to the girls.
To show the protection that is accord
ed to them, she says that the employ
ers never had any direct commnni
cation with their help, but alwavs
through the person in charge, who
ever they may be, men or women.
During the dull seasons, custom
hands are retained and given sale
work at custom prices, the employ
ers knoAving that their places can not
be easily filled. Respectability is a
great point with these women.
They can forego pleasure, work hard,
put up with any inconveniences, but
"good company or none" is the mot
to for them, and to prove that they
have no trouble in finding it, it is
only necessary to give the statement
of the foreman, who avers that in a
space of foui teen years, in which he
has never had charge of less than
from 200 to 400 hands, only three
cases of intemperance came under
hiB observation. He further main
tained that discreet and decorous con
duct is the rule, net the exception,
and not a better iroof of this can be
given than the fait that the girls are
sought by most estimable husbands,
and they make frugal, thrifty wives
in nearly all cases. Tailoresses only
are described in this connection, but
there is a sad picture on the other
side of this question; yet with all the
darkness, misery, and blight, in a
fair and impartial investigation the
shop-girls of Roston will rank high
in the scale of New England intelli
gence, thrift, purity, and faithfulness
to doty. They are not stupefied
with rum and tobacco, and, therefore,
have too much individuality to fall
into the wake of the cheap politicians.
Ry the unqualified snpport their
"cause" has received from the most
able and impartial minds for years
past, the future is safe. There is
one method left open, namely, to
help them to be able to earn good
wages, and then to practice the econ
omy that is so natural to all classes
Avho are well skilled, as waste and
ignorance are inseperable. That is
the education that is needed, and the
public mind should be brought up
to it.

Everybody wonders how Lacy
Wills lost her lover. She is a very
pretty girl as well as accomplished
and intelligent Dr. Hampton was a
great catch; and when he came to Nor
tonsbnrg, Lucy was not the only girl
who determined to "set her cap" for
him, and Mrs. Grnndy wondered who
would captivate him; but very soon
the young physician showed a strong
preference for Lucy, and pretty little
Lucy was delighted. Every few
davs they were seen together riding,
sailing, etc., and the littlo boys coun
ted the dimes they made carrying
watermelons and things from the doc
tor to Miss Lucy. Rut all at once
his attentions ceased. For a time he
moped about in a quiet way; then he
began visiting Alice Leigh, and the
village gossips wondered why it was
so. Kut you see they didn t know ot
that buggy ride Lucv took with the
doctor, the accident that happened.

why she lost him, and so does the
doctor, but she will never tell, and
he's a perfect gentleman.
You must understand the doctor
had not fully declared himself, but he
intended to do so, and concluded
'twould be so nice to whisper the
words in her ear as tbey drove along
the shady turnpike. lie invited her
to drive out with him, ab? accepted
and away tbey went.
They were very gay, quoting poet
ry and making love in that round-about
way that comes just before the
declaration, when the doctor's horse
backed his ears, shook his bead, kick
ed and did so many queer things thnt
Lucy became frightened and, before
her lover could prevent jumped from
the boggy. Dr. Hampton after qui
eting his horse went to her.
"Darling, are you hurt?" he asked.
Lucy blushed.
"I believe I think I've sprained
my my foot. It was very foolish in
me to do so, but I can walk to the
buggy, and we must go home;" she
attempted to walk, but fell bark pow
erless in her lover's arms.
" You are hurt," he said; "you must
let me see your foot," and she put
out her little foot clad in a neatly-fitting
boot.
" Your shoe will have to come off,"
he said. " The ankle is swollen bad
Iy." " Oh, no, no, go away," she said, as
he began nnlacing the boot. "You
shall not take off my shoe." Rut
here the keen pain struck her again
and she fainted, while her lover re
moved the tiny boot Rat immediately
be started back in amazement, for
there before his bewildered gaze were
the five tiny toes of his ladylove peep
ing ont from ao immense hole at one
extremity of her stocking, while at
the other was a little round heel peep
ing out as slyly as the little toes; and
then the doctor knew bis little dream
was over, for of all things he admired
neatness in a woman more than any
thing else. When Lucy recovered,
he carried her to the buggy, was
kind and gentle, drove her home, but
the intended prosposal wa3 left un
said. Lucy knew she had lost him and
reasoned within herself, "He had no
business to take off my shoes." And
he thought to bimscll. "She had no
business wearing stockings with holes
in them."
Accidents will happen, young ladies
and the safest plan is to be neat, and
not think as Lucy did, "Oh, those
holes will never be seen, they're
away down in my boot," for if you
do, your fate may some day be the

A contributor to Nature furnishes
the annexed: "The following notice
of a shower of black rain, which has
been sent to me by my friend, Mr.
Walker, of North Villa, near Worces
ter, though notexact in its description
as 1 could have Avished, may call at
tention to the snbject, and elicit a
more detailed account, if in this nnge
nial season rain of a similar nature
has fallen elsewhere. Mr. Walker's
residence is about three miles south
east of Worcester, and he says, that
after three or four hours of common
rain on Tuesday, June 6, it became
suddenly dark about seven o'clock
p. ro. and shortly after a rain like ink
poured down for a quarter of an
hour, after which light returned upon
the scene. The following morning
the sheep at WoodbaIl(an adjoining
farm) appeared as if their fleeces had
been dyed black; also the dog and a
gray pony Mr. Walker had out in a
field close by, appeared as if they had
been rolling in soot or in a coal hole.
The black matter brought down with
the rain was of an adhesive nature,
and at Littleworte, within a mile of
Norton, where this rain fell into some
tubs, it was observed to be as black
as ink. This black rain was particu
larly remarked, as clear ordinary rain
had been falling for some hours on
the day mentioned, but had ceased
an hour previous to the commence
ment of the black downfall. The act
ual rain of that evening did not ex
tend to Worcester, but I have a note
taken at my residence here at the
time, 'that the gloom was singular
and overpowering all the evening'.
I regret, that going into Hertford
shire next day, I was not aware
of this occurrence until some days
after, and none of the black rain or
the adhesive matter brought down
had been preserved for microscopical
examination.

Frightened at 3T lent.
I remember well that nervous
sensitiveness and merbid imaginative
ness had set with me very early.
Daring my Grasmere visits I used to
feel frightened at niget on account of
darkness. I then was a stranger to
the whole host of night agitators,
gliosis, goblins, demons, burglars,
elves, and witches. Horrid ghastly
tales and ballads of which crowds
afterwards came In my way, had not
yet cast their shadowsovermy mind.
And yet I was terrified in the dark,
and used to think of lions, the only
form of terror which my dark engen
dered agitation would take. My
next bugbear was the Ghost in
"Hamlet." There the picture
"Death at Hell Gate" in an old addi
tion of Paradise Lost, the delight of
my girlhood. Last and worst
came my uncle Sonthey's ballad hor
rors, above all the "Old Woman of
Rerkely." Ob, the agonies I have
endured between nine and twelve at
night, before mamma joined me in bed,
in presence of that hideous assem
blage of horrors, the horse with eyes
of flame! I dare not, even now, re
hearse these particulars, for fear of
calling up some of the old feeling,
which, indeed, I have never in my
life been quite Iree from. What
made the matter worse wa3 that,
like other nervous sufferings, it could
not be understood by the inexperienc
ed, and consequently subjected the
sufferer to ridicule and censure. My
uncle Southey laughed heartily at
my agonies. I mean at the cause.
He did not enter into the agonies.
Even mamma scolded mc for creep
ing out ef bed after an hour's torture,
and stealing down to her ia the par
lor, saying I could bear the lonliness
and night fears no longer. Rut my
father understood the case better.
He insisted that a lighted candle
should be left in the room, in the in
terval between my retiring to bed
and mamma's joining me. From
that time forth my sufferings ceased.
I believe they would have destroyed
my health bad they continud.

The raartiaaafthe Chief Ja.tire.
The extraordinary importance at
tached to the office of chief-justice so
plainly developed in the opposition
to Mr. Cushing's confirmation, recalls
the fact that in the act providing for
a supreme court it was never intended
that the chief-justice should be in the
decision of any case superior to either
of the other justices. The extraordi
nary ascendency of the! earlier chief-
justices, including Chief-Justice Mar
shall and Chief-Jnstiee Taney, was
due to the circumstances, especially
in the case of Chief-Justice Marsha'.!,
that the chief-justice, having the as
signment of the eases requiring deci
sion, assigned to himself the decision
of nearly all the cases tefore the
supreme court, until in the popular
mind the supreme court was supposed
to be Chief-Justice Marshall. With
the last few years the number of ca?es
before the euprenie court being so
great, and owing to the modesty of
Chief-Justice Chase, there has been a
very large number of cases in which
the opinion of the court has been giv
en by the associate justices Ry way
of explanation it may be stated that
wbeu a case has bean finally heard
liefore tie supreme court, and the
justices announce in the consultatioa-
room, by their verbal opinions, the de
cision of the majority, the chief-justice
merely selects the justice to give the
opinion of the majority of the ccurt,
which Mr. Chase was called npon to
do in several important cases in
which he found himself in the minori
ty. A cor t.espon dent of the Jarkson
(Miss.) xYctrs tells how General Jack
et n got his title of Old Hickory. Re
says he got the story from Captain
William Allen, a near neighbor of the
General, and who messed with him
during the Creek war. During the
campaign the soldiers were moving
rapidly to surprise the Indians, and
were without tents. A cold March
rain came on, mingled with sleet,
which lasted for several days. Gen
eral Jackson got a severe cold, but
did not complain, as he tried to sleep
in a muddy bottom among his half
dozen soldiers. Captain Allen and
his brother John cut down a stout
hickory tree, peeled off the bark, and
made "a covering for the General,
who was with difficulty pursuaded to
crawl into it The next morning a
drunken citizen entered the camp,
and seeing the tent kicked it over.
As Jackson crawled from tha ruins,
the toper cried : "Hello, Old nicko
