Witliin a cast le hauntc 1,
At castlct were of old,
There bang a harp enchanted.
And on its rim of ftold
This legend was enacrolled :
'Whatever bard would win ms
To strike and wake within me.
By one supreme endearor,
A chord that soundt forever.'
Three bards of lyre aal viol
By mandate or the kins,
Were bidden to trial
To find the tnajrtc string
( ir there were each a thing.)
Then, after tuch essaying
Of tunlnit. ciDit the playiurf ;
And lords and laUes sp'.eSWid
Watched as thota bards contended.
The first a mlntrcl hoary,
Who many a rhyme hsd sjiun
San loud of war and glory
Of battles fought and won ;
But when his song was done,
AHhoagh the bard was lauded,
And clapping bands applaadod,
Yet, spite ol the laudation.
The harp ceased Us vibration.
Tbe sec nd changed the measure
And turned from fire and tword
To sing a song of pleasure
The wine-cup an l the boa rd
Till, at the wit. all roired.
And the high hall resounded
With s merriment unbounded '
The haq loud as the laughter
Grew bushed at that soon alter.
The third. In loTer's fashion.
And with hi! soul on lire,
Then saug of love't pure pass! a
The heart and Its desire !
And, as be smote the wire,
The lis! ncrs, gathering rouudhim.
Caught up a wreath and crowned him.
The crown hath faded never!
The harp resounds fjrerer!

Ainns LEAVES.
A lovely afternoon in October. A
patty of young people, CArrying paper
bags, etU'hela and baskets, strolling
up a pleasant country road. Leaning
ovf r ibe garden gate of tbe pictur
esque snd many-gable bouse tbey
have just left, looking after them, the
gentleman shading bis eyes from the
sua with bis rigbt hand Mrs. Meli
cent Onden, widow, and Mr. Sidney
Maurice, old bachelor.
Mr. Maurice (turning to bis com
panion, fctill shading bis eyes). One
would imagine, judging from those
happy youths and maidens, that tbe
violets were here instead of the gold
en rod, and that the roses were com
ing, and cot tbe snow-Cakes. They
go as merrily to gather autumn leaves
as they went to seek for May's sweet
hloseoms. Life's spring makes all
eearons its own.
Mrs. Ogden (laughingly). True.
But that is no reason ycu shoald pro
tect ycur sight any longer. You hare
turned your back upon the sun.
Mr. Maurice (dropping his band,
and waiting beside her, as she saun
ters toward the grape arbor) When
we two were young, I thought your
beauty much more dazzling than tbe
sun.
Mrs. OgdeasWly). Tbatwii
great many years ago.
Mr. Maurice. We'll say fifteen.
Mrs. Ogden (knowing it to be nine
teen). At least sixteen.
Mr. Maurice. Is it possible? Look
ing at you, I can scarcely bslieve it
to be half that number.
Mrs. Ognen. Yon have not lost
your talent for flattering.
Mr. Maurice. I could not lose
what I never possessed. I abhor
Mattery. Time must have fallen in
love with you when you entered upon
the summer of your life Idon"t won
der at it and tbe old graybeard ever
after, as be made his yearly rounds,
only gazed upon you smilingly, and
passed on. So hand of his has been
laid upon your dark tresses. He has
never touched your broad smooth
brow. Your wine-brown eyes have
the same sparkle and your pretty
mouth tbe same smile as of old. Only
ycur form is more matronly, and
your chin not quite as roand, and I
should suspect glancing at her plump
band that you now wear six and a
half instead of six. The first philo
pena I ever gave you 1 let you
catch me, by-the-w ay was a pair of
gloves. As for roe, the fjot-prints of
the crow are plainly visible around
my eyes, my hair and my moustache
are turning gray, and tbe buttons and
button-holes of the brown coat in
which you first beheld me it was at
tbe elder Miss Sargent's sixteenth
birthday party, and you threw Bob
Taylor over immediately I was intro
duced, and allowed me to feed you
with strawberries and cream the rest
of the evening wouldn't meet at the
present moment by a foot or so
Time has smitten me with both
hands.
Mrs. Ogden. :Tia false ! He has
only touched you with one finger.
You look your age, I will confess
nine-and-tbirty (she knows he is forty-one)
but not a day more. And
you are entirely mistaken about the
crow's feet, and I see no "silver
threat's among the gold." So, Mr.
Maurice, you get no sympathy from
meon that score
Tbey reach tbe arbor, and seat
themselves upon a rustic bench shad
ed by heavy vines.
Mr. Maurice, suddenly, after a few
moments' thought. Ah! Melicent,
what happy, happy days ttose were
when, jou seventeen and I two-and-twenty,
were so wildly ia love with
each other. That h, when I was
wildly in love with you, and you also
thcogtt you were very much in love
with me.
Mrs. Ogden. I remember the day
we went for water-lilies, and came
tear being drowned.
Mr. Maurice. And I said: In what
more beautiful shape could death
come to us f The smiling sky above,
the smiling waters beneath, and the
fraerant flowers around us.
Mrs. Ogden. You were always
awfully poetical. But ia spite of tbe
poetry, 1 caught a severe cold, and
locked like a fright for a week. And
can you recall tbe terrible thunder
storm thatt overtook m as we were
sauntering through the woods one
August day, and the fearful clap that
shattered the maple-trest beneath
which we sought shelter J
Mr. Maurice. Can I recall it?
Can 1 ever forget it, yea mean. For
tbe same clap which you call fearfol,
but which 1 thought Heaven pent,
threw you into my arms, and I kiss
ed you.
Mrs. Ogden, blushing rosy red
And the day we went for wild flow
ers, and gathered each a quantity,
and, stopping to rest on the porch of
set
ESTABLISHED, 183
SOMERSET, PA.. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 19, 1879.
the Widow Marshall's cottage when
half way borne, forgot them, and left
them all there, and mamma, who was
waiting with pitcher" and vases and
things to fill, scolded us 'or nearly an
hour? Dear mamma! she always
liked you, and never forgot yon.
Mr. Maurice, with emphasis. In
which respect ber daughter did not
resemble her.
Mrs. Ogden, ignoring the interrup
tion. And the day I stole the jar of
peaches from the storeroom, when we
contemplated a lunch among the hens
and chickens in tbe barn.
Mr. Maurice. And the day I start
ed for Japan, and you promised to
remain true to me forever ? D3 you
remember that I
Mrs. Ogden,' leaning forward to
look down the garden path. Indis
tinctly. Mr. Maurice, impulsively. Meli
cent, why weren't tou true to me?
Mrs. Ogden. I was ; though ap
pearances, I coo less, were against
me.
Mr. Maurice. Yoa were true to
mo ? Why, I hadn't been gone
three months, when I beard of
vour flirting desperately with Jack
II all !
Mrs. Ogden. Poor Jack ! He was
so entertaining, and used to say so
many funny things. I nearly died
a-laughing at them many a time. But
as to flirting with him yoa accused
ne of it in your second letter, and I
was so indignant that I did not an
swer it
Mr. Maurice, sarcastically. Ah ! it
was indignation, then, that kept you
from replying ?
Mrs. Ogden. " I never flirted with
him. He got into tbe habit of stroll
ing over to cur house from the hotel,
and spending an hour or two every
day or evening, and we played cards,
and jested, and laughed together
and that's all.
Mr. Maurice. And Will Brown.
Mrs. Ogden. Tcor dear Will ! His
brains were all in his feet What a
capital dancer he was ! No one could
keep step with roe as he did. And
it's so refreshing to find a partner
who don't tread on vour train, or
jerk you awkwardly about, or stop
before tbe dance is bad through. I
did dance with him a great deal one
winter, but that's all.
Mr. Maurice. And Percy Ger
maio ? ,
Mrs. Ogden. Foor dear Percy ! I
never heard anybody, not even you,
repeat poetry specially love poetry
as well as he did. '
Mr. Maurice. And Peter Atkins,
Enquire?
Mrs. Ogden. Oh, bless his dear
old heart ! He took me out yachting
three or four tiniest with a party, of
course and sent me a love of a
bracelet on Valentine's Day. But
the idea of flirting with him! (Laugh
ing merrily). Fancy one's flirting
with one's grandfather.
Mr. Miance, And aone at ihes.
men made love to yoa ?
Mrs. Ogden. Ob, dear! yes, all of
tbem.
Mr. Maurice. And yoa?
Mrs. Ogden. 17 1 regarded them
as brothers, with the exception of Mr.
Atkins. I thought of him as I said
betore, as of a grandfather.
Mr. Maurice. But, Mr. Ogden,
whose wife yoa became yoa must
have regarded him as something
more than a brother, or a grand
father? Mrs. Ogden. Well, yes, Sydney
I should say Mr. Maurice
Mr. Maurice. I am quite satisfied
with Sydney.
Mrs. Ogden. I did. Fred waa a
fine-looking, dark-eyed, Spanish-com-plexioned
fellow, with an Italian
voice. He sang divinely, and yoa
know I always adored music; what a
pity yoa don't sing! and yoa look so
barytoney ; and be waa here and yoa
were in Japan ; and one lovely moon
lit summer eve Fred sang that lorliest
of love songs, 'Ah, te o cara,' from
Puritani, you know, in a heavenly
manner. I was completely carried
away by it, and when I came back to
earth again I fjund myself engaged.
I had promised myself for a song.
Mr. Maurice, meaningly. He was
very wealthy, was he not ?
Mrs. Ogden, demurely. Yes ; but
be lost a great deal of money.
Mr. Maurice. After yoa married
him.
Mrs. Ogden. After I married him.
You seem to be well informed on
tbe subject. (With a little sigh.) He
was a very good husband., and never
scolded me during all tbe ten years
ot our married life.
Mr. Maurice. And you loved
him ?
Mrs. Ogden. Certainly. As soon
as we were engaged I considered it
my doty to begin to love him.
Mr. Maurice. Having totally for
gotten me, to whom yoa had prom
ised to remain trne ?
Mrs Ogden. Yoa had not written
for three months. Yoa were angry
abont some one of tbe 'brothers' or
tbe 'grandfather' I forget which;
and papa, who didn't like yoa as
well as mamma did, said yoa weren't
coming back for five years. Five
years ! why, that length of lime seems
an eternity to a young girl. And
you know we were not positively en
gazed to each other. Yoa bad never
asked papa, and he was on Fred's
side anyhow. And yet, now that
we are old people, I will confess that
I teas very f nd of yoa. I never went
to gather spring flowers with anyone
else.
Mr. Maurice Xor water-lilies?
Mrs. Ogden. Nor water lilies.
Mr. Maurice. Never waa caught
in a tbuoderstorm with a 'brother' or
a 'grandfather'!
Mrs. Ogden. Never.
Mr. Maurice. In short, yoa only
married another ?
Mrs. Ogden, aot noticing the last
remark. And joucan it be possible
that yoa are still a bachelor J Are
yoa quite sure yoa have not left no
almond-eyed wife in Japan ?
Mr. Maurice. Quite aure. I don't
like almond eyes. I like well-opened
large, wine-brown eyes that glow ia
the light like rare old sherry. Meli
cent, for your sake I have remained a
bachelor. Your image alone has
reigned in my heart Yoa see how
much more constant a man can be
thaa a pretty woman.
Mrs. Ogden, with much animation.
Sydney, Miss Ballston's a nice girl
a few years pas; ber teens, bat very
girlieh and sbi's awfully fond of yoa.

She knows all your favorite dishes.
I can only remember yoa hare a fan
cy for poached eggs and peaches.
She ordered your breakfast before
yoa came down this morning, to save
yoa tbe trouble, she said, and yoa
fairly beamed when the waiter brought
it to yoa. She reads Macaulay morn
ings to talk bim with yoa evenings.
She practices oh, heavens, how she
practices! when you re away, the
two songs yoa like so well 'Drink to
me only with thine eyes,' and 'Believe
me, if all those endearing young
charms.' She is pretty. Yoa needn't
shrug your shoulders,' she is. True,
the blue of her eyes is somewhat fad
ed, and the gold of her hair is not as
goldy as it might be, and her upper
lip ia a little too long
Mr. Maurice. I never admirod fair
hair and blue eyes.
Mrs. Ogden. She would be con
stant, I know she would. I never
saw any male body paying her the
slightest attention. I mean I never
saw ber coquetting with any one.
She never could be sung away from
yoa ! Never ! I'd stake my life on
that.
Mr. Maurice, absently. What fools
we men are !
Mrs. Ogden. Have yoa just dis
covered it J
Mr. Maurice. We forgive every
thing to tbe women we love, and we
love bewitching, careless, faithless
flirts, when there are many true
hearts
Mrs. Ogden. And long upper lips
to be had tor tbe asking. Why do
you do it ?
Mr. Maurice. Because we are
fools, I suppose. Melicent, have yoa
any charity for a fool ?
Mrs. Ogden. It depends upon what
'fool,' and tbe manner of bis foolish
ness. Mr. Maurice, rising. He stands
before you, and hia foolishness con
sists in tbe fact that in spite of your
faithlessness, he loves you still. Will
yoa marry him ?
Mrs. Ogden, also rising, and look
ing anxiously toward the west, where
the clouds are darkening. If it were
not too late in the season, 1 should
fear we were threatened with a thunder-storm.
Mr. Mao rice, extending his arms.
If yoa are at all frightened, Melicent,
come to your old refuge. I am as
ready to receive and kiss yoa as on
that summer day. some sixteen years
ago.
She bends toward him. He then
folds her in his arms and kisses he?
She, looking smilingly up in his
face. Sydney, to become your wife
will be a feartul punishment. Pause
before yoa inflict it upon me, for, re
member, innocent as you are, you
wilt have to share it with me. And
remember, also, there will be no moie
spring flowers, no mora summer
blossoms for us, nothing but autumn
leaves.
He, my darling, I thank God for
them. For in the sunshine of your
love the autumn leaves will keep
their gold and crimson beauty while
life itself shaH last Bazar.
Tka Character rrbrlst.
This character, ot which Christ
was tbe perfect model, is in itself so
attractive, so 'altogether lovely,' that
I cannot describe in language the ad
miration with which I regard it ; nor
can I express the gratitude I feel for
the dispensation which bestowed that
example on mankind, for the troth
which He taught and tbe Bufferings
He endured for oar sakes. I tremble
to think what the world would do
without Him. Take away the bless
ing of the advent of His life and the
blessings purchased by His death, in
what an abyss of guilt would man
have been left ! It would seem to be
blotting the sun out cf tbe heavens
to leave our system of worlds in
chaos, frost and darkness.
In my view of the life, the teach
ings, tbe labors and the sufferings of
the blessed Jesus, there can be no ad
miration too profound, no love of
which tbe human heart is capable too
warm, no gratitude too earnest and
deep ot which He is justly the object
It is with sorrow that my leve for
Him is so cold, and my gratitude so
inadequate. It is with sorrow that
I see any attempt to put aside His
teachings as a delusion, to turn men's
eyes from His example, to meet with
doubt and denial the story of His
life. For my part, if I thought that
tbe religion of scepticism were to
gather strength and prevail and be
come the dominant view of maukind,
I should despair of the fate of man
kind in the years that are yei to come.

WABHISOTOX LETTER.
Faox oca KgaiLaBCnsB.Et,ro!fDZT.
Wasiiin-gtox, Nov. 20, 1879.
Washington is beginning to reas
same its society smile and political
manners. Congress with its numer
ous nondescript train is beginning to
arrive. The Executive and his cab
inet have at length settled down in
tbeir homes. Foreign ministers, at
taches of legation, military and naval
officers may again be seen driving or
promenading on the great boolevard
that stretches from the Treasury de
partment to the? Capitol. Dashing
government clerks, aristocratic daugh
ters of a bankrupt old regime, and
stylish parvenudom, opulent in gov
ernment contracts, vie in the display
of Parisian fashions and American
manners on Pennsylvania avenue. In
short the political mill, Mammons
court, and Vanity Fair, have been
again brought in proximity at the
only place where tbey can be seen in
such development, on this side of the
globs. What are these to us or we
to them: Has not every American
citizen a political sphere in his mu
nicipality, count v or State : And as
for the sphereless six, or, at least,
those whose sphere is in dispute,
have tbey not social realms of their
own little pent up Uticas of fashion,
narrow and provincial, tbev may call
them, but tbey contain the germ and
the elements of all that we see in
Washington, Boston, or the proudest
court of Europe. But it is well for
one, both bodily and mentally, to get
out of his accustomed environment
for a little while and, as tbe most
eminent investigators have not yet
thought it beneath them to study the
lowliest forms of life and the most
primitive systems of polity, the Amer
ican citizen and citogeone will find
their horizon broadened and tbeir
usefulness encbauced by studying
political movements and social ten
dencies, at tbe only seat of National
Government thai is accessible to
them. Those who imagine there is
nothing worth knowing outside their
own village in Virginia, will make a
greater mistake than the greatest
mistake of Dr. Johnson, for tbe vil
lage which he mistook for tbe world
was London.
Tbe habitue of Washington who
has been away during tbe summer
will observe but few chanres. The
city baa grown to such grand propor
tions that tbe addition of a hundred
or more houses make no perceptable
addition to tbe mass. It is only
when some naw and imposing build
ing is added, like the annex to the
Smithsonian Institution, or the new
Government printing oflice in South
YBkbinpioo, whicn are about half
compleiei, that tbe architectural
growth can be seen becomes conspic
uous. Few capitals have so many
aod tuch splendid public offices as
oar own, and on eone is so much
money lavished for interior adorn
ment and luxury. In tbis respect
tbe contrast between tbe U. S. Treas
ury offices and tbe Bank of England
is striking and suggestive. In the
Treasury department offices are rich
ly carpeted, supplied with mirrors,
easy chairs and lounges, in tbe other
only coarse matting covers the stone
floor, and it is in other respects fur
nished with little less severity than a
prison. The appearance of the com
mittee rooms of the Houses of Parlia
ment contrast with the chambers of
our congressional committees as does
the cell of a recluse with a ladies
boudoir.

A Cooa Swallawed by suke.
Not many years ago the writer
was homeward bound from tbe South.
When our boat drew op to tbe bank
a few miles below Vicksburg, to take
on wood, a number of passengers, I
among tbe rest, ventured ashore.
While engaged in drawing down a
huge streamer of Spanish moBs, my
attention was called to a raccoon that
was descending a leaning tree a few
yards away. Approaching, I dis
covered a very large serpent eagerly
inspecting his coonship, and seeming
ly speculating on tbe amount of ni
trogenous matter surrounded by that
glossy hide. Down came the coon,
and his serpent foe swallowed him
without a straggle. By this time a
number of the party were on tbe soot,
and we were preparing to liberate
the animal by opening the abdomen
of the snake, when to onr surprise
the coon emerged from the caudal
extremity of his living person, and
scrambled for the tree he had recent
ly occupied. In this attempt he was
foiled. Tbe wily serpent seized him,
tail foremost, and sent him howling
home. But not as easy as before.
for the coon resisted every effort of
deglutition, and in this he waa aided
by the displacement of his far, for
the snake was swallowing him against
tbe nap. Soeh being tbe case, we
concluded the coon would never find
tbe way out via the alimentary, and
we again prepared to open the rep
tile. In tbis we were mistaken, for
after a series of struggles, starw,
stops, blind switches, etc , he struck
tbe main track and came backing out,
bewildered but not discouraged, and
again set out for the tree. Bat the
snake arrested him bead foremost
this time, and drawing up his bis
huge body into a dozen or more lat
eral angles, corves and convulsions,
hoping thereby to retain bim, he slid
him down hU esophagus like a worm
loienge. 'But all too late.' Tbe
canning coon had learned the route,
with all its by-roads, blind paths,
drifts, dips and angles. He again
emerged, only to be seized by the
hungry serpent, who now stood guard
at tbe door.
This was repeated until the serpent
was enfeebled by exertion, and the
coon animated with success, came
galloping through like a steer in a
cornfield, sprang clear of his foe and
regained the tree. Tbe snake was
tben killed St. Loui$ Globe Demo
crat. A yoong lady advertised for a
maid. One applied, and, in response
to the inquiry whether she was quick,
she replied : Oh, so quick that I will
engage to dress yoa ia half an boar."
"In half aa boar," reiterated the
yoong lady ; "and what shall I do the
rest of the day ?

A short time ago the hub of the
universe was visited by a terrible
thunderstorm, accompanied by a well
developed sample of a Kansas tor
nado. Many lives were loat among
the shipping along tbe Massachusetts
coast, and especially in Boston har
bor. Tbe damage to glais ia the city
of Boston was very heavy. The
next day after tbe storm one firm on
Canal street reported the sale of
2,000 panes of window glas;. The
whole performance was without a
precedent in tbe memory of the oldest
native. Tbe startling appearance of
tbe sky previous to the bursting of
tbe shower warned travelers and pe
destrians to seek cover. Amon? tbe
many careless ones caught in tbe
storm was George B., a young repor
ter ol tbe iioston lelephone. lie
was caught by tbe shower on Han
over street, and stepped into a door
way to wait until tbe heaviest was
over, ueorze bad company in tbe
doorway. There were two Chinese
wasbees from Howard street and
several less aquarious looking individ
uals, eacn and all ot whom, it woulu
be safe to say, had not for a long time
back bad any very close relations
with a laundry. The rain fell in tor
rents, and soon great hailstones
struck the sidewalk and rebounded a
few feet in the air. Hushing out in
the rain, tbe enthusiastic reporter got
several specimens, drew a tape line
from his pocket, measured them care
fully and recorded tbe exact figures
in his memorandum. Repeating this
operation several times, he attracted
the attention of some young clerks in
the oflice up stairs, who broke large
chunks of ice from tbe block ia tbe
ice cooler, and threw tnem out to the
reporter, who measured them care
fully and recorded the result. Every
one in that doorway was struck with
tbe size of the hailstones, and the
Chinamen were exhibiting eyes of an
unusual roundness and prominence.
One of the chaps in the oflice acci
dentally dropped tbe balance of the
block of ice from which tbe monster
hailstones bad been chipped, and it
came down acd landed on the side
walk with an immense tra-b. It
must have weigoed all of 20 pounds,
and spattered the water ritrht and
left. Just at this instant came that
awful crash of thunder that startled
every one that heard it. aod of which 1
the papers spoke nex: dav. This
was too much for JoL- Cbluaruan.
They both ran yelling o the street,
in the driving rain, toe las: one say

This structure contain? at present
$114,000,000 of the national wealth.
The details may be given thus: 11,
000,000 in silver, $130,000,000 in gold
and $2:),000,000 in greenbacks. T .ie
new Bilver vault, which has been ia
use some months, will store 40,000,
000, and the present prospect indicate
that it will Boon be filled. Tbe vault
is in tbe basement and connected by
an elevator with the specie room on
tbe main floor.
The silver is placed ia bags con
taining $1,000 each, and the varied
issue of coins are kept separate. Gold
is held in bags containing $3,000,
and greenbacks ia packages each of
one thousand notes. In addition to
the silver vault there are two other
vaults on the main floor, each of
which is built on the plan of a first
clasi safe. They contain the gold
and the greenbacks, tbe lock combi
nation being held by Mr. Ashley, tbe
specie clerk, and Mr. Brittain the
cashier. Once a month, the surveyor
of the port makes an examination of
the treasure on band, but with this
exception it is nnder the care of the
above mentioned officials.
At night four men, suitably armed,
are put on guard and patrol the main
floor. Eight men are engaged in the
service, tbeir tour being alternate
nights. During tbe da? there are
two policemen ia their osual uniform
on duty in tbe ball, in addition to
which two detectives in ordinary cit
izens dress are keepiog watch. One
of these, Thomas Simpson, is an ex
pert of high order of skill, and hence
demands a salary of eighteen hun
dred dollars a year.
These detectives ofter. see profes
sional thieves loitering around, but as
tbe latter all know Simpson, his pres
ence prevents any attempt at crime.
The watchmen receive $75 per month.
They come in at 5 o'clock in the af
ternoon, at which time tbe detectives
leave, and tben lock up and remain
ontil relieved in tbe morniog. In ad
dition to this the treasury has lately
been pnt in a condition of self-defense
against the attack of a mob. The
windows are protected by steel bars,
and the inside shutters are perforated
with loopholes. The entire clerical
force is seventy, for each of whom a
musket is kept in the armory. Such
a force could hold a large "body at
bay, but in addition to this Gallia
guns will be stationed on tbe roof,
which will insure the safety against
popular violence. The vast institu
tion is under the general care of T.
Hillbonse, Assistant Treasurer. He
was bred in tbe western part of the
State, and has held his present office
for several years. His salary is $ V
000 a Err all sum for one wbo
must give bonds to tbe amount of
half a million. Next in official im
portance is Cashier Brittain, whose
salary is $4,000. Tbe pay here is
generally small, and an immense
business ia done in a very economical
manner.

A Detroiter wbo was rusticating1
ia one of the wilderness counties of
Michigan, was one day hunting when
he came upon a hamlet, consisting of
a saw mill, two houses aod a log
cabin. The sign af Post OSce greet
ed his vision over a door on one of
tbe houses, and he entered. The of
fice was an eight by tea room, and
the boxes for mail matter numbered
just four.
A written sign on the wall an
nounced that the mail arrived and
departed once a week, and the post
master sat behind a pine table read
ing the Postal Guide and chew in; a
sassafras root
"Any letter for John ?"
asked the Detroiter, as he looke 1
around.
The P.M. didn't shake bis htul
and crush all tbe inquirer's hopes
once, as some officials do, but slowir
arose, looked carefully into each ot.
of the four empty boxes, peered ia. i
an old cigar box on the window-s.h,
and said :
"I don't see anything just now,
but it's onlv four days till tbe next
mail."
"Ia tbis a money order offir? ?''
continued the stranger.
"Well, no, not exvMy, tjjugh we

"Can I get a dollar's worth ' (

pause.
"well, ao, not exactly," replied ta
official, looking into his wallet "I
can spare yoa five or six now, an I
the rest next week."
There waa another pause as th
postmaster vainly tried to mak
change for a quarter, and tbe De
troiter finally said:
"Tbis isn't rated as a Crst-clas P.

"Well, no, not exactly,' was thi
confidential reply. "Fact in, we don't
do a very rushing business here, aai
sometime I think it would pay me
better to go back on the farm."
"I don't suppose yoa make twenty
dollars a year here, do y a ?''
" W ell, no, not exactly, but I dots i

After a Spanish woman bas passed
the age of thirty, ber beauty vanishes
like a dream. Tbe Spaniards are nn
gallant enough to say that women
should die at that age. It seems un
fortunate that they should so soon
wither and grow stout, coarse and
wrinkled. They use so much pow
der that it dries ana hardens the skin,
and to good soap many of them are
strangers. But a young Spanish girl
ia an attractive object Give ber a
becoming dress, and place in ber hand
a fan, and sbe beeomes almost irre
sistible. One cannot but marvel at
tbe witchery and grace tbe fan, a
thing of paper, lace or silk, possesses
in her hand. It must be an accom
plishment bcrn with them, for tbe
tiniest child handles hers with ease.
They have as many fans as Flora
Met limey bad bonnets, for do cos

they are not highly cultivated; their
education is limited. A few of the
common branches, with a smattering
of French and Italian, a little music
and dancing, finishes it They are
very indolent, but that is the result
ot the climate ; eating, dressing, a
great deal of sleeping, a walk, going
to church, a little fancy work, fills
tbeir day. the monotony of which is
occasionally relieved by a little flirta
tion that may consist of a smile, a
glance and a whispered word on the
Alameda ; they are too elosely watch
