THE OL.U HOME.
" Return, return," the voice cried,
" To yonr old valley, far away ;
For softly on the river title
The fender lights an.) shadows play ;
And all the banks are gay with flowers.
And all the hi!W are sweet with thyme ;
You cannot find such bloom as ours
In yon bright loreipn clime !"
Fur me, I thought, the oitves grow.
The sun lies warm upon the vines ;
And yet, I will arise and go
To that dear valley dim with pines!
Old loves are dwelling there, I said,
Vntouohed by years ol change and pain,
Old faiths, that I bad counted dead.
Shall rise, and live again.
And still " Iieturn, return," they sung,
" With us abides eternal calm ;
In these old fields, where you were young.
We culled the heart's-easc and the balm ;
For us the flocks and herds increase.
And the children play around our feet ;
At eve the sun goes down in peace
Return; for rest is sweet"
Then I arose, and crossed the sea.
And sought that home of younger days ;
No love ot old was left to me
(For love has wings and seldom stays) ;
But there were graves upou the hill.
And sunbeams shining on the sod,
And low winds breathing, " Peace, be still ;
Lost things are found iu God."
CAPTAIN MAKVIX'. WOOING.
A. Story of the Year 1700 of aa BolU
a Puritan aat Capt. Miles Stantllsh.
The curious minded used some
years ago to search for the quaint
inscription that could be traced upon
a rnouldj etone in the ancient bury
ing ground in old Lyme Regis,
known in these later years as Lyme.
The memorial, when found, could
be decinhered thus :
This Deacon, aged &, is freed on earth from
serving ;
May for a crown no longer wait; Lyme's
Captain Renold Marvin.
Yet,according to the tale that moth
ers told daughters for many years
more than a hundred, Capt. Marvin
found a crown whose gentle blue
eyed wearer ruled him and his im
perious will with the peaceful scep
tre of love ; and this is the tradi
tion: There were the sounds of break
ing branches and the tread of feet
that eeemed heavily weigh'ed, one
afternoon of early September in the
year 1700. These noises seemed to
be caused by some one laboring se
verely just" within the wilderness
that 6tretched far back into Con
necticut colony from the shore of
the Sound. The man who heard
these oininoug sounds peeped cau
tiously around for an instant and
then ttared with wonder upon what
was revealed to hins. HeEavr com-

half carrying on hi tnouiaer, bait
dragging and straining at every
muscle with the weignt, a great
black thing that eeemed the full size
of a well grown ox.
" 'Tis U'enold," said the man,"and
he hath a bear." Then he went up
to the hunter.
"A bear. The bear, Kenold, The
brute that has given U3 so much
concern. 'Tis a monster."
The hunter loosened his hold.and
panting with his exertion, seated
himself upon a stone. He was a
young man, and, though the blood
of the beast had stained his face so
that the color almost masked his
countenance, yet the dark and leso
lute eyes, the firm-set jaw, and the
deliant manner of the man, exhaus
ted as he wan, caused the other to
look with admiration upon him
rather than upon his prize.
" 'Tis a monster, Renold. You
did not fight it all alone ?"
"Why not? Shall a strong man
with blunderbuss and knife fear a
brute?"
" Many an armed man has been
killed by such as this one."
" Bah ! None but babes and suck
lings. There, I am rested now.
Twas more difficult to fetch him
here than to kill him. You stay
here with him. Here, here, my gun
and ki.ife. I to go for help to bring
him to the settlement."
" Ah, but, Renold, perhaps his
mate "
" Art fearful of a dead brute? Yet
I slew him alone. Truly I did. I
lie not."
" I know you do not lie. Your
communication is always yea, yea,
and nay, r.ay."
" Fear nothing, for I will soon be
back."
The young man, without another
word, went quickly down the high
way, a mile perhnrs, until he stop
ped before a clumsy rough-barred
gate set in the stone wall. Then he
strode across a meadow, heavy with
ftftermath, until he reached a well
sweep, nhose bucket swung igh in
the air. With the strength of one
sinewy wrist, he poured the water,
cool as a winter spring, upon his
head, ai.d with the other most ener
getically bathed his neck and face
till the skin was almost as ruddy as
the stains his late slaughter left upon
him.
There," said he at length wa
ter for strong n:f n, milk for babes,
find rum for the weak and foolish.
Then, as he was about to start again,
be stopped in a listening attitude.
"What's that I hear? Thump,
thump. Ab, 'tis iSetty, at her loom.
I'll speak to her."
He went over the slope whereon
the well was and just beyond came
upon a farm house whose lean-to
roof was pitched against the little
mill, so that in coming down he
might have walked right up to the
roof to the ridge piece. He turned
aside, however, and stood upon the
kitchen door sill, and then he Eaw
the maid at her loom, though she
saw him not It Eeemed to please
this strong man to look upon her.
or upon her quick and graceful mo
tion at the loom, though her face
was bidden from iim. Then, too,
he saw and wondered why he nev
er took heed of them before that
two Ion? and truly braided braids
of hair hung far below her waist, so
that, as she eat there at the loom,
the ends of them seemed to rest
upon the floor. That sight pleased
him so.
Scon he epoke, but the shnttle
and the loom made a louder corse
ttian he, so he advanced and touch
ed her. She was not startled.think
ing some inmate of the house had
omer
summoned her. But when she saw
this strong man looking down upon
her she was confused an instant,
with a pleasing confusion, and then
she rose and greeted him.
"Renold, you epoke not Twas
not seeming thus to startle me.''
" I spoke. You heard not Truly
I did."
" Why, what's happened you ?
bee, your garments are reni, ana
here, why here there's blood.Renold.
and there are half-washed stains
upon your cheeks. Has there been
trouble with the Indians? Are you
hurt?"
"'Til nothing. I, this morning,
met the bear that's made havoc here,
and I killed him."
"You, alone?"
"Why not alone?"
" Went you alone out to seek
him?"
" Y'es, at dawn."
'Twas foolish bravery. And you
had a struggle?"
" Bears are not slaughtered like
sheep, unyieldingly. I gave him
my musket first, and be came at me
and I gave him my knife at the
heart, liut, mistress, you ve Deen
busy. Wove you this homespun
this morning?"
" Yes. Truly I did."
" 'Tis a fine piece. There are no
swifter nor truer fingers in all this
colony than yours. What are you
doing now?"
She had bustled about and now
brought him bread and cheese and
great brown nut cakes and she said:
" Y'ou have eaten nothing. That
I know. Eat this, and I will bring
you milk."
" You are a thoughtful maid, but
bring no milk, water for such as I."
As he began to ' eat she saw that
the sleeve on his right arm wrs bad
ly rent She saw more, and with a
little exclamation, grasped hi9 arm.
" You're hurt, Renold. The bear
has bitten you. See, the wound
bleeds."
" Oh, 'tis only a scratch by bis
claws. Let be. Let be, I say."
" But I will not let be. Sit here."
" Will not 1 None say so to me."
'Nevertheless I say it. Sit there
and let me staunch the flow."
He looked curiously upon her.Bhe
glanced back, half pleading, half
commending and to his great amaze
ment he found that he obeyed her.
She soon had the sleeve rolled up,
and then she found two long deep
scratches from the elbow to the
wrist. She bathed them gently, and
as she did so he wondered how
those small gentle hands of hers
could have so much firmness in
their touch. He smiled as he so
thouirht and she knew it
! "You smile. Yet I know vou
suffer. Do I bungle so that you find
mirth in my motions?"
" No, Betty. Twas for something
else I smiled, if I did smile. I did
think 'Here this little maid hath
me in her power ; yet with my
thumb and finger, thus, I might
crush you, so slight and tender are
you.'"
"In your power?" said the maid,
inquiringly, as she bound a linen
bandage on the wound.
"Aye. You compelled me to obev
you."
"Why not? Brave men like you
are worth the effort of compelling."
" Hey, there, Betty, I understand
your philosophy not? but somehow
I am content. Tis not a displeasing
bondage for the moment and then
somehow I did feel healing in the
touch of your fingers, so soft are
they."
The girl laughed gently.
"Betty, do you compel young
Matthew to do your bidding?"
" Him I neither compel nor per
mit." " Y'et I have heard he is inclined
to you."
"Is he?"
" Yes. So I have perceived. He
is a well-favored lad, Betty, and a
fine wooer I trow."
"What know you of wooing?
They do say you have swora it,
neither to woo nor wed, for you will
acknowledge mnster nor mistress."
"They say rightly, Betty. That is
my firm resolve, and I am never
shaken in my resolution. But Mat
thew hath resolved to win you."
"Hath he? That is your firm
opinion ?"
"Would vou not favor him a
trine?"
" Is it your concern ? Tell me. Is
he strong and brave.and verv firm ?"
" Why should I tell you?''
"That I may know whether to
favor him or not None but the
strong and brave and firm, I think,
would find favor in my eyes."
"That is well, Betty. Be steadfast
to that"
"So I shall. Of that be well assur
ed." She said this with lowered
tones and gently bended head, her
cheeks suffusing.but the strong man
thoughtshe was just tnen greatly
absorbed with her occupation over
his wound.
" I must hasten now," said be at
length. "I must go to the settle
ment for belD to bring the brute,
for he is verv heavy. Come. Let !
me finish my bread and cheese."
"You should not walk so far. You
should give the wound some chance
to heal."
"But I am going."
" No. I will not suffer it"
"You will not? You?" He
lunched almost contemptuously.
She said no more, but when his.
eyes were not upon ber she silently
withdrew. A brief time later he
heard a horse approaching, and
from the window he saw Betty Lee,
seated firmly on a sheep's pelt that
served for a saddle, and, with her
red liDS nartlv parted and a saucy
smile in her blue eyes, she said :
Rest you there, Kenom, till J re
turn. I am going to the settlement
for you ;" and with a word to the
mare she flew away.
" That maid bath spirit," mused
the discomfited Captain, "slight
though she be, and she rides her
mare as no woman ever rode. But
what! What am I? Here I am
again overpowered by her. I Blew a
ferocious beast this morning, and
yet this little child restrains me.
Tis strange, but tis rather pleasing
to be commanded by ber. I do not
seem to rebeL But no more ot that
to-day, do more."
When the lair Betty came slowly

riding back a half hour later, she
looked demurely upon him with her
blue eyes as he put out bis hand
for a stepping stone, and thus on
one hand bore her like a trine from
the saddle to the ground.
"The men will come at once,"
she said. He made no reply but
led her mare to the shed, and then
strode away, with mighty steps, and
when she saw him Liter he was with
imperious tones commanding the
men to carry a bear's haunch to the
old fort at Saybrook Point and the
men obeyed him, too.
For many days Betty saw Renold
no more, except in his solitary seat
at the meeting house upon the Lord's
day. But one day she perceived
him, from her chamber window,
making bis way toward the well
that he might drink. Very demure
ly Betty threw a hood over her fair
head, and with a bucket and down
cast eyes went to the well herself.
He bad the bucket to his lips and
heard her not, so that she stood
within hand's reach of him, he not
knowing it. When he lowered the
bucket she spoke.
"You will till it again lor me, ana
I will thank you, Renold."
He turned surprised, and for a
moment looked down in 6ilence
UDon her, his body towering great
and mighty above her slender grace
ful figure.
" You came so stilly," he said, at
length.
" As you came when last I saw
you."
" Would you try to frighten me,
child?"
" Nay, no one ever made you know
what fear was. Renold. Then how
could I? Y'et perhaps you fear me."
" Why say you tnatr
You used to come once in a while
to see my father. - Now you come
not at all. Y'ou may come, Renold.
I will leave the room to you if I
alarm you."
" Twas in my heart to come, but
in my resolution to come not ; so I
came not."
" Why. Renold ?"
"Truly, I know not "Tis pride
to keep away, yet I will not come."
" How are you wounds, Renold ?"
"Well, thanks to you. Some
times I seem to feel your touch
upon my arm. 'Tis pleasant But
I must go now, Betty."
"Whither, Renold?"
" To capture a rascally Indian, a
dangerous fellow, who doth terrify
our people, and they fear him. But
I will take him, or he will take my
scalp."
She put her bucket down and
came forward, laying ber hand upon
his arm.and looked upon him plead
ingly. "Go you alone Rjenold?" . ..
"Aye, why not?"
"Tis very brave. I know, but 'tis
very dangerous. Do not go alone."
But I will. The Lord hath com
manded me to capture him." .
" But not alone. You shall not
go alone."
' I shall not ? Humph 1 who will
prevail against me?"
" I will. Come, Renold, promise
me to call your company and select
from them some sturdy men ; then
I will let you go."
" That is nonsense. Come, delay
me not" He moved a bit, but the
little maid stood quickly in his path,
lifting her blue eyes to his.
" You shall not go alone. I we
cannot sutler you to be foolhardy.
All know your bravery. You need
not this exploit to prove it."
" Let me pass, Betty."
" I will not."
He looked upon her curiously. A
single motion of his powerful arm
would have overcome her, but he
faltered. Then he said :
" I would I had not met you."
" Why. Renold ?"
" Because of your constraint of
me. I hate it yet I like it. lruly
I do. I lie not, Betty. And there's
the mystery of it I hate it, yet I
like it Come, it shall be as you say.
I will take companions."
"Then I will leave you. You
never fail to keep your promise."
When next she saw him he was
returning with a captive, a strong
and treacherous savage, whom the
companions said the Captain had
mastered single-handed.
Then many weeks passed till it
was the dead of winter, and she
knew that he avoided her. One Son
day, after service, he found her, by
chance as it seemed, right in his
path.
" The Lord be with you, Betty,"
he said, and passed on."
"Renold! Renold!" she called
gently.
" Y ou spoke, Betty 7
" My father is ill, and desires very
much to see you. Will vou not
come to-night? Y'ou will find him
alone "
" If 'tis to see him, so be it Betty.'
When on that evening he bad
spent an hour with Father Lee, the
old man said, " Kenold, the maid
hath a sweet voice, and on the
Lord's day night she reads the Scrip
tures to me. Stay you and hear to
her."
Then Capt. Marvin, much as he
wished to go, wished more to stay,
and while thus struggling with him
self in unaccustomed hesitancy, the
father called the girl. She came,
just courtesy ing with an indifference
that pained Renold. Then when
her father asked her to read she took
the great Bible, in ber lap, bent her
fair head over its pages, and began
in soft, but clearest tones to read
the tale of Ruth. As she read on,
Capt Marvin forgct himself and all
save this sacred tale o sweetly and
effectively repeated by the gentle
maid. She paused not till she had
finished. The she rose, bade them
good night and was about to go.
" Stay, Betty," be said. " Let me
thank you. Never was sweeter ro
mance written, but never before
knew I that till now."
M Tis indeed a beautiful tale," she
said, "but I almost wonder that you
like it. There are others more to
your liking.
"What others?"
"Joshua, for instance, the mighty
warrior."
w Ave, but I want a strong man to
read that"
Who but yourself should read it
then r
" Would you like me to do so?"
" Greatly."
So be took up the Bible and lead
with ftrong, resonoant voice, of
Joshua's mighty deeds.
" I thank you, Renold. Never be
fore realizied I the half of Joshua's
valor. I think he must have been
somewhat like you, Renold; and
now, good night."
"Slav, Betty, the hour is early
yet"
" Nay, I think 'tis well I bid you
good night."
She had opened the door, behind
which were abrupt oaken stairs that
led almost perpendicularly to her
little chamber under the rafters, and
with one foot on the lower step, she
turned her head, looking over her
shoulder to say good night
" No, but you must not go," said
he, and he arose and went to detain
her, seizing her by the hand. Then
for an instant the maid struggled,
and somehow, in the duration of the
struggle, the maid became embraced
by his strong arm, so that he per
ceived the exceeding suppleness of
her slight figure; and as her fair
head rested for the time of one
breath ou his broad chest, and he
caught the glance, half modest, half
amused, from ber uplifted eyes, then
the strength he gloried in eeemed to
to depart from him, and the maid,
slipping gracefully, quickly from his
detaining grasp, tied up the stair
way. The strong man stood there a mo
ment like one bewildered, then he
heard the father laughing heartily
" Captain," said the old man 'with
all your strength the maid seems
stronger than you."
"Truly, she did give me the slip.
My head is in a whirl, and my heart
doth beat. What strange power hath
the maid? 1 know it not except
with her. Bid her corns back, neigh
bor Lee."
' Not to-night. Captain. The girl,
I surmise, is better alone. She hath
said nay, I think, to-night to young
Matthew's avowal, and it pained her
to see his grief.''
' Yet Matthew is well favored."
" Not for her, I trow."
"I wonder if Matthew ever felt
her soft touch, and her head resting
for an instant on his breast, though
by accident If so, did it unman
him, and take bis strength away?
I will not wait here here longer,
neighbor Lee. I am strangely at1
unrest I wonder if the lever is
creeping in my veins, I burn so hot
ly. I will go into the cold air with
out" With mighty strides the strong
limbed Captain went down the high
way, for he was beset with stranger
and more peculiar excitement than
he had over known.
" Hath the maid the power of sor
cery that she bewitches me?" he
mused. "She doth unman me, and
I have no strength of mind or body
under her glance and voice. Yet
strange it is, 'tis pleasurable. Truly
it is. I know not the mystery of it
And when she struggled to free her
self, and I did perceive her soft
touch, with so much strength withal,
I tingled, truly I did, to my finger
tips ; nor was it painful ; and when
in the struggle her head did rest for
an instant hereon my chest, I knew
not myself at all, but I was unknown
and pliant as a vine. Yet I did like
it Though so slight a thing is she
I could have grasped her in my big
fist, thus, and crushed her, I trow,
had she wished it, my fingers would
have been powerless."
Then the strong man mused and
was perplexed with fascinating per
plexity. Then when the bedtime
came be read his Bible, read the
story cf Ruth again, and then re
peated his evening prayer.
Suddenly he arose from his knees,
his face aglow with excitement
"The Lord hath instructed me!
The Lord hath instructed me !" be
said. "It shall be done to-morrow."
And with that determination he
slept peacefully.
Next morning, an hour after sun
rise, while Betty Lee eat at ber loom
weaving busily, she heard some one
calling, " Betty ! Betty Lee !"
There at the gate, in full uniform,
with cockaded hat and sword at his
belt, and astride his horse, high-spirited
as himself, she saw the valiant
Capt Marvin.
" Come here, Betty, I have a com
munication," said he.
She obeyed him now, going close
beside the horse and looking np to
the mighty Captain with inquiring
gaze.
He took his tat from his head
and, bending to her, said : " Betty
Lee, the Lord hath commanded me
to marry you."
She searched his eyes sn instant,
and read the truth in them ; then,
the rich color tingling her cheeks,
her eyes now downcast, she hesitat
ed a brief moment, and then in low
but clear tones said gently : "The
Lord's will be done, Renold."
He quickly leaped to the ground,
and, putting both bands beneath her
shoulders, lifted her lightly till her
lips met his, and then, holding her
thus suspended still, said: uWe
shall be railed in church the next
Lord's Day, Betty."
" Your will ia mine hereafter," she
said gently, and then with a smile
added, "but put me on the earth
again, Renold."
"Your word is la to me. Betty,
I obey." He set her gently down
again. and then, smiling, said: 'Now
understand I why I have been like
a reed in the wind before your wish
es. But 'tis very sweet submission,
Betty, truly it is and will be while I
live."
And the tradition runs that though
be became a man of great authority,
yet he said truly that her majesty
would compel sweet submission
from him while he lived.

It is related of Lord Charles Bere
ford that during the hot fighting in
bouth Africa, as he was riding bacc
after an engagement, be overtook
one of his troopers wounded and
slowly making his way on foot He
stopped and told the trooper to get
up behind him ; the trooper refused
on the ground that if he got up they
would both be taken by the enemy,
but if Lord Charles Bereford rode on
alone he was certain to escape. Lord
Charles Bereford looked at him a

A FATAL WATCH.
The late Dr. McLean sometimes,
in feeling the pulse of his patients,
held his watch to his hand and
counted the pulsations. On one oc
casion while doing this his watch
stopped suddenly in his hand and
his patient, contrary to his expecta
tion, died. He related this to a par
ty of gentlemen, among whom was
Davy Harris, a well-known citizen.
Not long after Harris was taken sick
and sent for the doctor ; when the
doctor arrived he was a great deal
better, and was sitting on the piazza
at Major Burts, where he lived ; the
doctor felt his pulse, and uncon
sciously pulled uut his watch. Har
ris, remembering the incident, said :
4 Don't pull that d d watch on me.'
The watch stopped ; in forty-eight
hours he was a corpse.
HE DROVE OFF.

AFTER A WATCH.
One day recently Jake Tobriner
purchased a gold watch and chain
as a birthday present to his wife.
He laid it down a moment on a
chair and went into the next roouj,
and when he came back it was gone.
Great was his astonishment on see
ing the jewelry so suddenly disap
pear, and he fully concluded that
bis wife had played a trick on him,
and said nothing. Finally, at din
ner, he said the joke had gone far
enough, and she had better produce
the watch. She knew nothing of it
and Jake was beginning to feel rath
er queer, when he he heard i noise
on the stoop and, going out, tound
the cat with the chain tangled about
her neck and trying to get rid of it
He made a crab at it but pussy was
too quick and slid under the house,
with the elegant watch clattering
along behind. Mr. Tobriner got a
long pole and poked it about under
the house, and after a epel). hearing
a noise, saw the cat upon the wood
shed with the watch still dangling to
her neck. He climbed up with a
bowl r,f milk to get the cat, but she
ran under the chicken-house (with
the watch of course) and then he
poked her with the pole again ; bu
it was no good ; the cat was up in a
tree too quick, and the air v. as filled
with clubs anl bricks for half an
hour, trying to bring ber bown. Mr.
Tobriner finally went to borrow a
gun to shoot the cat, when she came
down herself, and getting the watch
caught in between some boards was
unable to get away. Mr. Tobriner
got his watch and. strange to say, it
was uninjured. Carton Appeal.
TIED TO THE COWS TAIL.
George Hauck, the brewer, spent
a week last summer at a hotel in
Hunter, Greene county. One day,
on his way to the hotel, after a long
ramble through bush and briar, he
stopped at a neat-looking farmhouse
fcr the purpose of getting a glass of
fresh milk. The kitchen door stood
wide open. Mr. Hauck. after knock
ing, walked in. He saw no sign of
life in the room except a sleeping
baby in a cradle, which was rocked
ed to and fro bysome unseen power.
A closer examination revealed the
fact that a stout cord was fastened
to one of the rockers and run through
a hole in one side of the room. Mr.
Hauck resolved to follow up the
cord nd see what the other end of
it was fastened to. The search led
him to a small barn connected with
the house. In it stood three cows,
to the tails of which was tied the
cord. It being fly time, the animals
kept up a constant switching w ith
their tails, thus accounting for the
rocking of the cradle in the kitchen.
The rest of the family were at work
in afield about a quarter of a rnie
from the house, and Mr. Hauck had
considerable difficulty in attracting
their attention, lie hnaiiy succeea
ed, and obtained a glass of milk.

That Sausage.
A clergyman in a Southern State
was on his way to preach a funeral
sermon. As he was passinir the
house of a widow lady, a member of
his congregation, she ran out and
stopped him, baying, as thev had
just slaughtered their hogs, she had
pu.up a tew pounds of sausage as a
present adding that as she had put
it in double paper packets, she
thought it would not soil his clothes.
He thanked her for her kindness and
rode on, having put the parcel in his
pocket.
All the time he was officiating at
.he grave a large, half-sfarved hound
kept snuffing around him, some
times approaching alarmingly near,
attracted by the scent of the fresh
meat. As the deceased was a man
of some prominence, there was a
considerable crowd collected, and
great mourning and lamentation
canie from the family group : so no
one paid any attention to the move
ments ot the animal, but all noticed
with concern tor he was beloved by
his congregation the great pallor of
the clergyman, and the beads of per
spiration standing upon his brow,
and they began to whisDer to each
other that Mr. II must be ill.
After the interment they all pro
ceeded to the church, where the fu
neral sermon was to be reached.
Just before entering. Mr. il
turned round to ascertain the where -
abouts of his tormentor, when lo !
there he was, not far from him, but
the crowd prevented him froiu ap
proaching too closely. Just at tnis
moment some one gave the poor
creature a cruel kick, which sent
him off howling. When the irinis-
ter reached his pulpit one of those
okl-iaeuionea anairs ascended by a
short, steep flight of steps he be
gan to breathe more freely. He was
just about to commence his duties
when the sexton, a good old man.
came noiselessly up the steps with
a slip ot paper in his hand, which
he wanted to give to the minister,
but who was unnoticed by that gen
tien.an, though seen by ail the con
gregation. He gently twitched his
coat to attract his attention. A thrill
of horror passed over the unhappy
preacher at the dreadful thought
that the dog had entered unseen in
tne crowd, and was now about to
take forcible possession of the sau
sage before the whole assembly ; so,
hoping to drive him away, he kick
ed back cautiously but vigorously,
and struck the old man in the breast,
who rolled down the steps.
Seeing the look of surprise and
alarm on the faces of his audience,
he stammered out : " I must explain
to you, brethren, what must seem to
you my intemperate conduct. A
friend came out to roe as I was pass
ing her house, with a small pack
age of sausage for me to carry home
in my pocket; but ever since I dis
mounted from my horse, this old
dog here" pointing behind to the
prostrate sexton, but withont look
ing around "has been following
me, and at length came into the pul
pit, determined to get the sausage
from my pocket"
At this moment the sexton a little
stunned and a little hurt, arose from
the floor, and the minister with a
glance took it all in, stared wildly
at him, took a drink of water, turn
ed very pale, sat down, overwhelm
ed with consternation. Harper's

"Help Yourself"
The latest amusing story ot a
wedding, told by a minister, comes
from one who officiated on the oc
casion. It illustrates the manner in
which a man's heart can swell and
prompt him to almost reckless lib
erality under extraordinary condi
tions. A big, rawboned farmer entered
Mr. Freeman's parlor one day, ac
companied by ashy but comely girl
and desired that the marriage cere
mony be performed.
The minister complied with the
request, and when the fateful words
were spoken, and the youg couple
had been made man and wife, the
husband drew from his pocket four
bright silver quarter dollar pieces.
He extended them towards the
minister on hU open palm, and ex
claimed :
" There, brother F., just help
yourself until you are satisfied."'
The minister took one.
Whether or tot the good minister
expressed his satisfaction, or went
away in sullen and ungrateful si
lence, we are not informed.

A Cnrioas Swedish Legend.
The 2J of February in Sweden is
considered the midwinter day. In
the era of paganism it was a great
festival in honor of the heroine Goa
or Goia, tlriiiej under the name of
i Disa, to whom the whole month was
j consecrated beside. The Wcend of
Goa is very curious. It states that
at one time, when the country wad
visited by a frightful famine, the
Thing, or national assembly, decided
that in order to alleviate the gener
al distress, it would be necessary to
put to death a part of the population,
especially the old and infirm. Goa

Not a Grain In It.
"Give me a quarter of a pound of
black pepper,1' said a customer to
an uptown grccer recently. " I want
pure."
The grocer took down a little
package done up in tin foil and
adorned with a yellow paper bear
ing the legend : " Pure Black Pep- .
per.-'
" This is what sells for black pep
per in this part of the worlJ, but tee
ing I know you pretty well, I don't
minJ tailing you there's not a grain
of black pepper in it. I worked for
five years in the milling room of a
spice mill, and I'm on to the busi
ness from end to end. Now tliU
particular spice is made this way :
Take einhty-fiye pound of finely
ground bran, mixed with pulverized
charcoal the last to represent the
1 black hall of the pepper grain.
Then add fifteeu pounds of ground
cayenne ptpper, ana there you are
with 1X) pounds of the purest black
pepper."
" Well I'll be darned," ejaculated
the reporter.
It's the same way with mus
MrJ," the grocer continued. Fit
teen to twenty Dounds of cayenne
penper. the balance of cheap wheat
flour colored yellow makes one hun
dred pounds of genuine mustard.
The highest gradts, which aren't
often retailed, contain as much as
one half of real mustard. But
cream of tartar is the biggest swin
dle. A fifteen-pound can of the low
grade contains one pound of tartaric
acid itrid fourteen of terra alba. The
terra alba is a mild alkali, and neu
tralizes the effect of the acid. High
er grades of the mixtures contain a
trihV more tartaric acid.
'You probably think you've eat
en some cinnamon in your time,"
the grocer went on. " Well, you
haven't. I don't suppose there's ten
pounds of cinnamon bark in the
United States. What passes for cin
namon is the bark of the cassia tree.
This i adulterated with a still
coarser bark known a3 enssia vera.
The article is also mixed with peas
and roast bran. I need not tell you
about roast coffpe ; everybody knows
about that. It's just the same way
through the whole list of spices. If
you could smuggle yourself into the
basement of some spice mill you
would find bins cf bran, peas, term
alba, etc. When I went into the
mill where I worked, we had one
barrel of tartaric acid, and there was
considerable used outcfit. When
I went away after rive yeara. there
was sfliiie of the acid still in the bar
rel, and I suppose we had sold sev
eral tons of cream of tartar."
" Well, IU be darned, again mut
tered the reporter, as he moved on.
A htmaikahle Instranent.
Among the flints of the chalk for
mations is occasionally found one
which emits a clear musical sonnd
when struck with another flint. Tis

French musician, H. Baud re, who is
a zealous collector cf these musical
stones, and wbo has just succeeded
in making a unique ' piano"' tmm

are suspended by wires above a
sounding board, and are played
upon by two other tiints. The
stones of the piano number twenty
six, forming the two chromatic oc
taves, end were collected with much
patient labor during a period of
more than thirty years. There
seems to be r.r relation between
the size of the stones and their

Vaing the Earth's Heat.
There is abundant reason for be
lieving that the earth's crust is very
thin, asserts Mr. J. fctarkie Gardner,
and it seems most impossible that
some means may be devised forntil-
izir g the intense heat of the molten
mass below. This is already being
done, in fact to some extent, an arte
sian well having been bored at
Pesth to obtain warm water for pub
lic baths, etc. From a depth of
about 3.000 feet a large quantity of
water heated to 161 degrees Fahren
heit pours forth, and the boring Js
to be continued until water at IT'S
