Jim H''-iln,mb EU'jf. AN INNOCENT IMPOSTER. There had been a railway aixideut at Grove Hill. Upon the ground, upon rough boards hastily covered with shawls and wraps upon car Bats wrenched from the cars, in every attitude of death and suffering, lay the victims of the disaster, while those who had escap ed injury, and the neighboring people from all sides, moved busily about minis tering to their wants. One group of three people were a little apart from the others. An old woman, with a terriblecut upon her face, hastily bound op with a coarse handkerchief, was herding over a girl cf sixteen, who lay unconscious upon the ground, moan ing feebly. She was a pretty, delicate gitl, her face white and still, her eyes half closed, and her rich, brown hair fall ing in tangled, waving profusion upon the grass. The doctors nude a hasty examination and put her back gently upon the ground, exchanging one significant glance, and promised the old woman to come back again. Evidently working-women and poor. were these two of the group. But the third one, standing beside the old woman was as evidently a lady, with a eentle, refined face, soft white hands, and the dress of rich material, and fashion suita ble to a woman of wealth. A wide hat shaded her lace, but she wore no gloves or wrap of any kind. She did not speak as the stopped near the moaning girl, and the old woman sobbing over her, but she put a handker ehief, wet with strong perfume, in the old woman's Lands, and stepped back to open a sachel she carried. Soon return ing, she said : That's right ; she may revive if she smells that. And now, let me see your face." Hands cool and tender removed the coarse bandage, wiped the blood away, drew the cut together and dres-ed it w ith sticking plaster, A solt, line handker chief replaced the blood-soaked one, and then the lady asked : " Have you any other hurt T " ,'o, ma'am. Heaven bless you ! But Mary 1 Oh, look at her, dear lady ! Mary ! Speak to your granny, darling ! Oh, my dear child, she's dying! Oh. Mary, caa the good Lord leave an old woman like me, and take you away? Oh, Vary, Miry r " I am afraid she is badly hurt, the lady s&id, " but I will have her carried where she can have proper care at once. If I call my men, who are here to help all they can, to carry her, can you walk as far as the w hite house you see on the hill there?" " Oh, yes, dear lady." "That is my house, and I am sending as many aa I can there. In a few mo ments I will come back to have your daughter carried there." "My grandjiild, dear lady." But the lady was already on her way to a group of men w ho were directing the removal of some of the injured pas sengers to the houses in the neighbor hood already open to receive them. Two men and a cushioned car seat were at once sent to carry " Mary " to Mrs. van Ritter, and gradually the ground was cleared of the victims of tht railroad accident. For four weary weeks Mary Byrne lay in a state of terrible suffering from severe internal injuries, nursed by her grand mother, but every w ant was supplied and the most tender interest shown by the lad who bad opened heart and puree as wid'elr as her doors w hen she received six of the wounded women into her beautiful hime ; 'l poor wimen, cnab e j to give her more than thanks and bless ings, as one by one they recovered ana resumed their journey. Only Mary Byrne and her grandmoth er remained, for the injuries received by the girl were fatal, and there remained nothing to do for her but to make the little spaa of life remaining as easy as the kindest care could make it. The old woman's story was a very simple one She bad been a nurse in a hospital in New York, and transferred to another hospital in smaller tow n. Mary, her dead son's only child, kad been given a place in the kitchen of the new hospital, and they were on the way to their labor, when the accident threw them upon Mrs. Van Ritter'scare. Common people, you see ; very com mon people ; and Mrs. Van Ritter was the widow of a millionaire, the niece of one of New York's merchant princes ; yet, had the suffering girl been of her own Cimily, the dainty little lady could scarcely have done more for her. Every dy si took her turn in watch ing her while her grandmother rested. Every direction of the doctor was care fully followed, medicines, nourishment, and whatever was needed, being of the best to be obtained ; and when all was over the qaiet but appropriate funeral was at Mrs. Van Bitter's expense, and her own white bands put flowers in the seic ESTABLISHED 1837. "WEDNESDAY, dead girl's coffin, and then gently drew the gray head of the weeping old woman to rest upon her own breast. " Three little children and the kindest husband I have scn lying so," she whis pered, "and I know what a heavy sor row yon are bearing." And the gray hair was tenderly smooth ed, while the old woman, comforted al ready, wept quietly. When the funeral was over Mrs. Byrne, greatly to her surprise, was alfered a place in Mrs. Van Ritter 's household. She did not suspect that it had been made for her out of that lady's compas sion for her age and loneliness ; but it added one more item to the debt of grat itude that stirred her heart to the most passionate devotion towards her kind frieniL It is little to say that Margaret Byrne would have died for Mrs. Van Bitter. She worshipped ber as something to pure and good for this world, and could see no fault to cloud what seemed to ber perfection. It was not the money that Mrs. Van Bitter hadsut upon Mary thai nio-ed her most profoundly. It wes the fact that Mrs. Van Ritter's own w hite bands had helped to nurse the girl ; that Mary's aching head had been pillowed npen Mrs. Van Ritter's own breast while that lady stroked her hair, bathed her face an d soothed ber ; while more than once her lips were pressed uyon the pretty, wasting face, as she spoke tender words of pity. Three years had Mary lain in her grave ; three years had Margaret Byrne given Mrs. Van Ritter her service of love, when a alow: wasting fever attacked the little lady, and f r many days her life was in danger. Ail the passionate grati tude of Margaret's heart w as poured out ia Ler devoted nursing, ber unwearied care during that illness, and when con valescent days followed there was a friendship between the ignorant old wo man and the lady that was far closer and more confidential than it had ever been before. And this was how it happened that one day Mrs. Van Ritter said : " Yon often w onder, Margaret, at my sympathy fjr the poor children at the almshouse or ia the asylums. It is be cause I know how the poor little things, no matter how kindly they are treated, miss the love of their mothers and fath ers, the precious famiity ties that noth ing else can replace. I was twelve years in an orphan asylum, the "St. Mary's Home." My mother made a runaway match, and died a widow in great pover ty, and I was taken by the woman in whose house she died to the ' Home,' with a letter she wrote, only few lines, telling my name and her own." Margaret's face was turned away Margaret's voice had a strange, hitky sound, as she said : " What was your name V . " My name was Agnes Waldron, and my mother's mr.iden name was Agnes Field. Anl this was how I came to be taken by my uncle out of the " Home." The matron let my grandfather know when I first went there but he would not forgive my mother, and never came near me. After he died, my uncle found the matron's letter and came to claim me. He waaa widower without any children, and my life has been one of wealth and ease since he took me to his home. I have had many Sorrows by death, and with ail my money, I have few to love. So you understand now why my heart is so tender for the little ones who are left as I was left for twelve long years . Are yon asleep, Margaret ? Why, joa are erring." " And who would not cry V asked the old woman. "To think of yon, so good to everybody, havirg such sor griefs to bear yourself." " You soft-hearted Margaret ! You want to fan me, I know, and I am sleepy." The fan moved to and fro, with the reg ularity cf a machine, and presently the invalid slept quietly, Not until then did Margaret Byrne steal out of the room, walk slowly to Ler own, and bolting the door, sit down to think. Memory brought np one picture from the past, vivid as if it had been but yesterday since she saw it. She was an nnder-nurse at " St. Mary's Home," and the matron brought in two babes to be fed, washed, undressed, and put to bed. " Boor little girls," she had said, k no body to look at them could see much dif ference between them, but this one is a street child, picked up on a bench in the park, a little nameless waif, while this one is the grandchild of old Joshua Field whose daughter ran away three years ago. I am going to write to him now, and maybe he will take her." It was none of Margaret's business to make any further inquiry, and for three years the children were under her care. The street waif was called Sallie, the oth er child by Ler own name Agnes. The street waif was a little beauty, and the nurse grew fond of her. The child of gentle birth was a peevish, sickly child, demanding constant care, but not win ding babe. On the third night Agnes Waldron, the true Agnes, died in convul sions. When the matron came to make her morning rounds Margaret was in the kitchen preparing food, and by some er ror the dead child had been moved to Sallies bed, while Sally, the boany, crow ing baby, lay in Agnes Waldron's crib and bore ber name, and old Margaret kept the secret. The old nurse now rock ed herself in ber chair, whispering soft ly, so softiy none could overhear. " Oh, Mary, darling '. are you not glad it was your old granny gave the dear lady all the money, all the good things? Oh, my dear ? heaven be praised it was yo.i. And nobody will ever know, no body will ever guess, but old Margaret, that you're not Agnes Waldron at all, but Salbe Nobody 1" And she kept her secret Nobody ever knew or suspected that Mrs. Van Ritter was Sally Nobody, and an impostor.

The Part Lincoln Played. Robert G. Inge noil. A great actor can be known only when he has assumed the princij! character in a great drama. Possibly the greatest actors have never appeared, and it may be the greatest soldiers have lived the li Tea of perfect pence. Lincoln assumed the Wading part in the greatest drama ever acted upon the stage of a continent His criticisms of military movements, bis correspondence with his generals and others on the conduct of the war, show that he was at ail times master of the situation that he was a natural strate gist, that he appreciated the difficulties and advantages of every kind, and that in "still and mental" field of war he stood the peer of any man beneath the flag. Had McC'lellan followed his advice he would have taken Richmond. Had Hooker acted in accordance with his suggestions Cnanceilorsvilie would Lave been a victory f jr us. Lincoln's political propheci were all fulfilled. We know now that he not only stood at the top, but that he occu pied the center, from tho first to the last, and that he did this by reason of his in telligence, his humor, his philosophy, his courage an I his patriotism. He lived to hear the shout of victory. He lived until the Confederacy died until Lee had surrendered, until Davis had fled, until the doois of Libby Prison were opened, until the republic was free. He .lived until Lincoln and Liberty were united forever. He lived until there remained nothing fjr him to do as great as he had done. What he did was worth living for, worth dying for. He lived until he stood in the midst of universal joy, beneath the outstretched wings of peace the foremost man in the world. And then the horror caaie. Night fell on noon. The savior of the republic, the breaker of chains, the liberator of mil lions, he w ho had "assured freedom to the free," was dead. Ubon Lis brow fame placed the immor tal wreath. For the first time in the history of the world a nation bowed and wept The memory of Lincoln is the strong est, ten Jerest tie that binds all hearts to gether now, and holds all states beneath a nation's tlag. Strange mingling of mith and tears, of the tragic and grotesque, of cap and crown, of Socrates and Democritus, of .Esop and Marcus Aurelius, of all that is gentle and j jst, humorous and honest, merciful, wise, laughable, lovable and divine, and all consecrated to the use of man;whiie through all, and overall, were an overw helming sense of obliga tion, of chiva'ric loyalty to truth, and upon all the shadow of the tragic end. Lincoln wa3 a maiiy-sMed man, ac quainted with smiies and tears, complex in brain, single in heart, direct as light; and his words, candid as mirrors, gave the perfect image of bis thought. He was never afraid to ask never to digni fied to admit that he did not know. No man had keener wit or kinder humor. It may be that humor is the pilot of reason. People without humor drift un consciously into absurdity. Humor goes with good nature, and good nature ia the climate of reason. In anger, reason ab dicates and malice extinguishes the torch. Such was the humor of Lincoln that he could tell even unpleasant truths as charmingly as most can tell the things we wish to bear. He was not solemn. toIeninity is a mask worn by ignorance and hypocrisy it is the preface, proloie and index to the cunning or the stupi L He was natural in his life and thought master of the story-teller's art, in illus tration apt, in application perfect, liberal in speech, shocking Pharisees and prudes, using any word that wit could disinfect, He was a logician. His logic shed light In ita pre sence the obscure be came luminous, and the most complex and intriaite political and metaphysical knots seemed to untie themselves. Logic is the necessary product of intelligence and sincerity. It cannot be learned. It is the child of a clear head and a good heart Lincoln was candid, and w'.tb candor often deceived the deceitful. He bad in tellect without arrogance, genius w ithout pride, and religion without cant that is to sayjwithout bigotry and without de ceit He was an orator clear, sincere, nat ural. He did not pretend. He did not say what he thought others thought but what he thought If yon wish to be sublime you must be natural you must keep close to the grass. You must sit by the fireide of the heart : above the clouds it is toD old. You must be simple in your speech ; too much polish suggests insincerity. The great orator idealizes the real, trans figures the common, makes even the in animate throb and thriil, fills the gallery of the imagination with statues and pict ures perfect in f rm and co'or, bring? to light the gold hoarded by memory the miser, shows the glittering coin to the spendthrift hope, enrich w the brain, en nobles the heart, and quickens the con science. Between his lips words bud and blossom. If you wish to know the difference be tween an orator and an elocutionist be tween what is felt and what is said be tween what the heart and brain can do together and what the brain can do alone read Lincoln's wondrous words at Gettysburg, and then the speech of Edward Everett , The oration of Lincoln will never be forgotten. It will live until languages are dead and lip- are dust The speech of Everett will never be read. The elocutionist relieves in the virtue of voice, the sublimity of syntax, the ma jesty of long sentences, and the genius of gesture. The orator loves the re tl, the simple, the natural. He places thought above alL He knows that the greatest ideas should be expressed in the shortest words that the greatest statues need the least drapery. It is not what its proprietors say, but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does that makes it sell, and wins the confidence of the people. Potato Cake.

A queer collection of ash hooks excited a Washington Sar writer's attention at the National Museum, 3,000 years ago be ing almost the latest period to which any of them dated back. For it would seem that the Csh book is a very old invention indeed. From a description which ac companied them it appears that many curious things were used as material fcr the hooks in early days. Some were even made of human bone, and this practice has been common up to w ithin a century of the present time among the natives of the Society Islands, in the South TaciSc. Deer horns, flints, boar's tusks, an 1 lone of all sorts were made to serve this purpose by anglers of the neolithic peri od. It is not diffuu'.t Ui figure to oai's self a cave gentleman in that ancient ep och sitting upon a newly formed dep-isit of quaternary rock ia the middle of a gla cier stream, and watching for a suail float of a tree bark to give the expc-cle ! indication of a bite by disappearing un der the water. SUih floats were un doubtedly used in those times, and stone sinkers, too, plenty of ths latter having been found in the strata of earth, stone, and shell deposit w hich embalms the re mains of these vsnished peoples. The development of the barb was nat urally a slow process, an 1 n ob ly knows just when it was adopted. Certainly, however, it was. A rAVll.I.lR !'. i E many centuries before the beginning of the bronze ag, which periol hal i's commencement about o.OOO years ao. This form of metal first came into use along the European coast of the Mediter ranean the alloy of whivn it wa3 ordi narily composed being nine parts of cop per to one of tin and the mechanical improvements accompany.ng its intro duction were in no point more surprising than as applied to fish hooks. How far this is true may bs julged from the fact that the fish hock of to-day, save ouly in the metal employed, which then wa bronze and now is s'.eel. The very cu'ves of the "Limerick" and "Shau hnes5j" hooks, so popular w ith anglers, are found ia these anti ;ue speci men?. The tops of the shanks, too, are bent over into little loops, as nowadays. to the lines by. Most s'irprii'.ug of all such relics found, perhaps, are s:r:ps of burnished copper shaped like fishes which were utilized by fishermen of the bronze are as artificial bait to attract the prey with its metallic sheen. Until the aje of bronz arrive 1, shells of various sorts furnished material I'for a large percentage of the hooks make, and hard wood, sharpened, was much em ployed. Thorns were also made to s-rve a hke purpose, an 1 un'.il recently the MohaTes of Arizona have similarly ued cactus spines, bent into proper shape and tempered by the application of alternate heat and moisture until strong. The ear ly bake dwellers in this country wrapped their hooks with charms manufactured from various animal substance, the baits being put on outside. They imagined that the fish were attracted by these fet ishes. The on!y gold fish hooks ever found were of the virgit metal, and were taken from a grave in New Grenada. now Moptiof ri-n hooks ake made. The making of fish hooks is not mere ly a trade in itself: anglers consider that it is, properly speaking, aa art Ia Fin land the best ones are made, because ail manufacturers of steel excel in that coun try, where every product of that materi al, from razors down, is beyond compar?. Hooks of the first quality are made fri the very best cast-Me j! wire, which is turned out in coiis at Sheffield and Bir mingham. The first process is to cut the w ire into lengths suitable kr the hooks to be ma le. Ordinary sizes are chopped off by the quantity with a machine, but the big ones for use in catching sharks and other big sea fishes are cut singly with a ham mer and chiseL After the lengths of wire have been cutoff another operator takes them and turns up the barl by cutting into the yet soft metal with a knife upon an anviL Next the straight pieces are taken in hand by a workman who files the points to keenness. Where the best hooks are concerned each one is manipulated separately, being held in pincers wkile the necessary sharpness is given by a few dexterous strokes. Com mon brooks are pointed with one fi V, but the finer sorts require the applicttioa of two cr three different degrees of coarse ness. The points once made, another work man takes the bits of wiie in Land, bend ing them round in a curved piece of steel, so that each one shall Lave tie haracieristic fixture which makes the type of hook desired. The process of forming the instrument is now comp'et ed, save fur the shank, which may either be a loop at the end of the wire or a flat tening at the extremity. The flattening is done by one sharp blow with a bam mer upon aa anvil. The final process is the ten.pericg of th? hooks to harden them, and when all these operations have beer, completed they are scoured ia revolving barre's driven by steam power and tilled with water and soft soap. When the friction has worn them bright they ara dried in anothtr revolving barrel containing saw dust In olden times fishermen made tiieir own hokj, using very nin' b the same methods as are now practiced ort a large scale in the factories. It is a very curi ous fact that during the bronze age, when metals had first come into use, fish hooks had the sime form as now, even to the shanks and curves. The famous Limerick " and "Shaughnea,-y " bends are absolute productions cf those prefer red in that early epoch. A Little Girl's Experience in A Lighthouse. Mr. and Mis.

Palmistry and phrenology Lave also been fovorable known as inter preters of character. "But" says faih ionable Chestnut street tailor, "if yon want to get to the very bottom of a coin's character, to read his very thoughts, bis Aspirations and ambitions, there is no better way of going about it than merely studying his lej,-s. From my long ex perience ia the business I can read a man like a book the moment I get a g-od look at his legs. To tL'ts I attribute my whole s iccess in business, simply front the fact that by sizing np a man's legs I know whether or not to give Lim credit." First comes the man of the world. His well-cat trousers lit snugly over his well cat leg. He walks with a springing step thai deootes vitality and strength of purpo.e. He walks the street with head erect, and the very style cf Lis gait shows that be Las some definite purpose in reaching his destination, and means to succeed in that purpose when he gets there. In direct contrast to the man cf the world is the dreamer. He is not such a familiar figure on the street as Lis more energetic brother, but you all know him. lie walks slowly, with hands clasped be hind his back, head thrust forward, be tween a pair tf stooping shoulders, and "thoughts far from the tr.addeningcrowL His legsareastudy in themselves. They are invariably illy lad, faltering in their movements; and usually carry their owner to some out of-the-way-bock-still where they seem to take a certain delight in the congenial companionship of musty old volumes, as much out of sympathy with the world to-day as the legs them selves. But the pompou3 legs! Ah, what a story they teil ! Their very appearance commands attention an 1 respect. "Look at me." they say. -Am I not a beauti ful pair of le.-s? Do I not display the s'eriing worth of a man who has made his mark ia t::e world?

Chollie is not quite the fjol the humorist loves to picture Lim, and some diy Lis legs will undergo an entire revolution. The legs cla i in striped trousers, too, are eloquent of human nature. They belong to Chimmie, but unlike Chollie's legs there is no indecision abo.it them. The character cf Chimmie is permanent- .y formed.

He never tel's Lis neighbor to have kith. Son; how he puts faith into him. il? delivers no homilies; the sight cf his beaming face, the sound of his happy v ice and the sight of his blessed daily life curry convictions that words have no power to give.
