When we were fir married we bought a Uaie cotu-e ia the c.idst of a prt-ttj ffirdea a callage Uiat LaJ jast four roorns and a garret in all, but we wanted no more. "Once tLe property of tie late Miss Xabcj Free," the mi estate dealer aaid in Lis circular. We d d ct-t thlna much about Miss Free, however, only that her old fash tcced fornitcre jast what every one was goics over wect wi;h the house, and that we could make it the prettiest littie nest in the world. We were beginning the world. Why should we thick of those who had done with it? - " Why should Ja-k and Lottie Dean, j i-t marr.ed ask what Lad been tbs hopes and grie& of Nancy Free, ?pioltr, some ti sue dead ? We live for ooraelves in this world. Jack bought the house ; we moved in. The place had been very carefully kept clean by the ajent, and I bezan to ar- raiie and rearrange, to tie ribbon bow on chair, to loop fresh muslin certain at the window paces, to -1 the old chins ris wilh Sowers, tl.icking of Jack the whi'.e, ae a bride would be apt to do, w hen looking out cf the window I aa w s quaint old figure coating up the road that of a man very old in years, and who Lad not chac?i Lis garb with the fash ions of the times. His hat had a beii crown and roiling rim ; big collar and coat and neckerchief were of the sort we see in oar gTundfath er's portraits. I had him pointed out to rae as "Eache'.or Barton." and been told that he was rich and of a good old fami ly, and Lad once ben disappointed in love. I hid myself behind the curtain and watched hint curiously as he caine on, wenderisg if he were once a handsome young fellow like my Jack, and if he had loved some one as Jack loved me, and how it was that yDuth could change to ie, and golden lucks to gray, and why it need to be, when to my surprise he paused at the gate cf my garden and en tered. Ferhapa his old i.-hioned politenes led hitn to call upon the strangers' after the good old custom so rapidly dy- leg out. A moment more my liule maid brought me his card, and with a glance at the mirror, I hurried down to jreet him. C lose at hand iiii Le.or Karton was older than he had seemed from my upper window, and frailer, bet his face had a aieet expression still. "Pardon my intrusi.n, madam," he said. "I saw the Louse open for the first time for rears and could not restrain icysfelf from approaching the door. I knew it well in bygone days, when Miss Nancy Free and her mother lived here. I came here often tfcen, 1 was s very intimate friend, I wanted to see the dear oil rooms once azain. Miss Free was eighty whsn she died ; I am eighty-five. Eat we mere yoang i-eople when we first met twenty-cne and twenty-six. Yoa think me an eccentric old creature no docbt but I want to see the boose once before I die, for oi l times" sake." "Come in, air," I said. "I shall be happy to show you every comer of it. I think I understand." "As young people understand such things," he said. "Happily they tannot quite know how the old feeL Not quite not quite." He held Lis quaint old hat in Lis hand as he spoke, and gave me a ad smile that drew his face into s hundred tiny crow's feet, and as I motioned the way, he followed me into our little parlor and sat down. "Nothing altered," he said. "This is old Mrs. Frees furniture, that had been her grandmother's in Revolutionary, days. They say it is the fad of the time to bay it op or Lave imitations of it The brass and irons, the shovels and tongs, the carved chairs, the escritoire I remember them sIL This is s Turkish carpet there are hardly any of them to be found now. Yes, Mrs. Free sat here, and Nancy played the guitar, and I gang yoa would not think that I sang or, I remember, she worked st the tam bour frame bile I read aloud from the poets." lie moved his bead slowly about no tinjr every detail the peacock feather Cans, the cot glass decanters and glasses, the painted chins in the corner cupbosud the fooboool like a melon, the lampmat rset ESTABLISHED 1827. like s rose. Nothing had worn oat or grown shabby in tbs spinster's little home. "Once," be said, "Mis Nancy sat for s miniature to a painter then well known. It was s speaking likeaess. Does it by chance remain in the bouee 7" -I think it does," I said. "The heir, a nephew, a'rich mas, who lives in New Orleans, wrote orders that the boose should be sold with all its belongs, and I think Jthe miniature yoa mean is here." 1 went to the escritoire and drew from one oi tne arawers tne likeness ot s isuy J painted on ivoiy and set in a narrow gold frame. I doubt if it really resem bled a!y living be in?. It was a beautiful doll, all pink and white, with blue eyes, little brown curls penciled on the forehead and a white frill about the neck, but as I put it into the hands of Bachelor Barton he gazed upon it with rapture. "Mia3 Nancy ' very self," Le said, "as she appeared at twenty-two. There are no such women now." Ht paused, and witle alow bow, added. -With the ex ception of the fair lady in whose presence I now stand." 1 court ec ied. I hope I did it properly. It seemed the only thing to do under the circumstances. After this I begged the old gentleman to visit any portion of the bouse and grounds he pleased, and when be went away presented him with Miss Nancy V miniature, for which he k'-d ray hand, standing at a long distance and touching my fingers as though they sere sacred relics. We talked him over at tea time. Jack and I and made op our minds that Le Lad once been a suitor of Miss Nancy'. It was n.4 a very ditf'irult matter to jruess that, and froui that day he called fre quently, ile made me his confidante at last. Ile had adored 3Iias Nancy, Le told me, and she had returned his affection, and they had become engaged to each other with the consent of the mother, and ail w ent merry as a marriart bell until, in some manner, he cended the object of his adoration. I jude he made hex jealous hat ing been in his day a beaa of the first water, and much admired by the ladies , but be was too mo-Jest to say eo outright But at all events site would sot forgive him. she refused him the miniature which had been painted for him ; she took back her lock of hair and sent Lim back bis letters, and in all sorfs cf ways wreaked vengeance npon h:m for his evil doing. Yet I believe she intended to relent and forgive; and Le also thought so, lam sore. He mad every pottsibie apology and overture, but she yielded not one inch. At last her d other died. That great sorrow, iiseetud to liim, luust bov her pride, and she must more than ever need s comforter, s cx-nsoler, s protector. Allowing time for the first burst of grief, Le wrote to her, asking her to re ply, whatever, her fit miht be, begging her to forgive him, and once more prom ise to be his wife. "She never answered me," he said. "She never gave me cne word in reply." It was on my tongue to say she had been very vindictive, but I saw that that would not do. Miss Nancy was saint in bis memory, and could be suspected of no wrong whate er. "I erred beyond forgiveness, sweet angel," he said" I erred beyond for giveness ;" and Bachelor Barton could not have been moved from this opinion by the whisper of aa angel. a A a "Auntie, cried my little nephew, "There's somethiag in the crow's nest" I was sitting in the garden and the voice sounded above my head. 1 looked op with s start. In the road outeide arose a tali pole, and from time imme morial a great crow's neat had crowned it How little Billy had managed to reach its apex I cannot say, bat there he was, and speechless with horror I could only implore Lim, in dumb show, to de scend. He answered with a laugh, flncg some thing to the ground and came sliding down after it "Yoa naughty boy!" I cried, aa I cangut hiia in my arms. "It's not a bit like a nest, auntie," Le said. "It's all uy aid muddy. There were some featheis in it, black, and there was a dead bird, and there was that cap a queer cap. I never saw such a fun ny thing." He picked from the grass the object Le had jist dosa. It looked like a crushed leather Ux, and had been melted by the sun and soaked by it certaisly proved t be s queer, old. fashioned cap, with a peak, and lined with oiled silk, and as Billy toesed it shout and turned it inside oat, s square, white package dropped from some secret spot beneath this lin ing, which had kept it from destruction adown the years. Long years they must have been, for the letter had been written before the days when envelopes were used was curi ously folded and sealed with a large seal on which was the letter "F." It was ad dressed in s delicate hand, to "Alwyn Barton, Laq., TLe Oaki," etc In fact it had evidently been in ten led for the old gentleman we called Bachelor Barton, and to him I at once dispatched it with s note of explanation . His answer was a reqnest that I and my husband would do hint the honor of calling, as Mr. Birton was unwell and there was much to explain. And of course we went Bachelor Barton, bolstered np with pillows, lay npon s lounge, pale as yellow wax. bis eyes shining under his gray brows. "Dear friends, yoa have told me that the letter yoa sect me was in the lining of an old leather cap in the crow's nest," he said. "I remember seeing the cap thrown sway. Miss Free't little negro servant Csto, wore it A carpenter who was mending the barn bad snatched it and flung it in the sir. Apparently it never came down again. It was search ed for, and I watched the search from tbe window, bet never dreamed that it was in the nest The cap was old.

I think it was made with a sort of pocket on par- ' pose, and in that lining this letter had started on its way to me, when s rods jdat ended my hopes of happiness) for AUGUST 3, 1892. life. Cato forgot or never told the fact of its being undelivered. "The letter, dear friends, was aa an swered to my prayer for Mini Nancy Frees pardon a beautiful, forgiving, angelic reply. Had I received it I should have flown to her. She should have been my bride. These lonely years would have been gladsome. I might not have been the last leaf on s withered branch. "It was fated to be. I trust she did not suiferaiso. I I Seax that is possible. How discourteous the must have deemed me. I never dreamed she had written I" He paused. Tears filled his eyes. "I am sorry," I began. "Don't say you are sorry yoa found it Bachelor Barton cried. "If I was foolish enough to faint w hen ' the truth burst npon me. I still rejoii. Up there I thick she waits for me there, where the truth is manifest without words; and I thank you oh, so much r We staid with him a little longer, and he talked to us of Naucy and old times.

The IietuocTAtic Hocse actually got down to the point of coast ering pension bills at a Friday night session. The Rrr r shows the following interesting de bate over the bill to increase a pension from Hi to to Ellis P. Phirpa, s sol dier who is almost helpless from a gun shot wound in the arm and from hernia : Mr. Iloliinson !,Kep. Fa.) It seems to me there is a spirit among some gentle men on that side of the Hoa which is averse to granting pensions ; even in the most meritorious cases. Mr. Meredith iTem.Va.! I want to make the statement that the gentleman is mistaken about one thing. This bill will be defeated by tLe gentleman's speech he e to-night and nothing else. Mr. Robinson of Pennsylvania. Let the gentleman carry out Lis threat I have faith in tie Democratic party, even if it des extend over a dark continent o-j that side. There are members here who, when a meritorious claim comes in, will sapport it on its merits. Mr. Moses Dem. Oa) And we are go ing to smash your bill, too. Mr. K bicsoa of Pennsylvania. You can smash my bill if yoa chotse ; and I want to say to yoa that La 1SSS the Ieai ocratic sc'tdiers, to the best cf mv knowl edge, smashed Ceveland for his action against the soldiers in Tetoing pension bills. Prolonged applause on the Re publican side. Yoa can carry out your threat if you w Uh. You can raise tbe point of no quorum when yoa want to defeat these Ui'.s. This farther coHoy will give seme indication of the spirit of those who con trol the present House which, up to a few weeks ago, had not been able to g;t a quorum together on FridayJ evening to consider pension bills. Mr. Livingston (Dem. Ga) And now Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of this Iloaae, when we Southern Democrats, who fought under the rebel flag, come into this hall sworn a members of Con gress and undertake to look into the mer its of pension applications that are pre sented here, we do cot wact to have it ; flaunted in our facts that we are opposed : to the 2-ig of our country. 3Ir. Robinson of Pennsylvania. I did net say that I said there seemed to be a pirit Mr. Liir.gstoa. I want to say further that when the time comes again, if the time ever comes to test the question, we will show yoa whether the men who fought for the gray, who fought under the rebel flag, will stated to their colors or not, Mr. Robinson of Pennsylvania. I am not questisnicg the cocrage cf any South ern soldier, and never did. I quest"' 'n ed their loyalty, not their courage. Mr. Livingston. Well, we are tred of that sort of thing, and we don't want to hear any more of it Mr. Robinson of Pennsylvania. Well, yoa will hear just as much of it as I may choose to give yoa when I have the floor. Mr. Livingston. Then yoa will take it bac k. Mr. Robins -a of Pennsylvania. No ; I will not take it back. I represent the district that John Hickman lepresented, and Le never took anything bark. Laughter. Mr. Livinssfon. And you have gt to stop these insinuations on this 2xr. Mr. Robinson of Pennsylvania. Nev er, never. Mr. Livingston. Or you will never get another pension through this house. Mr. Robinson of Pennsylvania. Well, I will put yoa on record. Mr. Livingtoo. go on record. Well, I am ready to Danger of Forcing Education. Ferhaps the stress is applied too early to our little ones. I throw out this word of caution to our good lady frienJs here who Lave them in char,-e. Some years ago I was passing down a street in Indi anapolis from my residence to my office, and on the way there was one of our public schools. The children were just gathering in the morning. As I came near the comer two sweet little gins, ev idently churns, approached from differ ent directions, and. meeting at the creat ing, soon had their heads close together, but not so close but that I caught U.e conversation. One said to the other: " Oh, I bad such an awful dream lat night." . Her sympathising Utile fellow put her bead still closer and said, What was ur " Ob," said the trembling little one, " I dreamed I did not pass." It is safer for such little ones to dream, as in my careless country boyhood, I was wont to do, about bears. Vri lnl liir ri'aww at Sunivji. Daisy Versus Dandelion. " I tell yoa," said the tiger.

"The Apaches are, nn-jneaiioaaUv," he says, 'the most dreaded tribe of Indi ans on this continent A a Apache can lope np the side of a moan tain with the thermometer marking one hundred and twenty degrees, and when he reaches the top he won't show s drop of extra perspiration, nor will he breathe a whit faster than when be started. "There were twenty-five of as csvAlry cen, returning from oar fruitless par suit of the terrible Geronimo. Our hors es were worn oat, and so wre we. It was one of the hottest days I had ever known in that country. We had several miles of baked alkali pUin still before reach ing the fort, where we could secure shade, and water, and what we needed tnest of all else rest " Whew 1 Eat it was hot Had not the air been perfectly dry, neither scan nor bes.-t could have stood it The mvtai work of our sTuns was so heated that no one could bear to touch it with the na ked hand. The air shimmered and throbbed as it does over a newly plowed field at noontide of a summer day. North, east, south and west was one lev el stretch of plain, on which not a tree, shrub or even a blade of grass grew. Far to the westward could be seen the out lines of the foit oddly distorted, through the quivering attnoephere, bat in every other direction was U.e naked, horning desert " We were strung along for a distance of severd hundred yards. In fart, there was a squad of five horsemen much far ther than that to the rear. All the ani mals were plodding siosly through the rand, which it seemed to me, was bet enough to roast i ggs, their heads droop Leg, while we were s;mp!y enduring it grimly closing our teeth, holding out to reach the post. " Was there anything to be apprehend ed from Geronimo? Could we old cam paigners be entrapped? Low, level sand on every hand. Well, right there, in the midst of that flaming plain, with its hor rible sandy waste on which no spear of grass could find root, that frightful chief tain and his Apaches ambuscaded as. It sounds incredible, but it is the fact. " Sad Jenly I hear.! ri2e firing at the rear. It had a dill, odd sound, but was close at hand, and as I turned La the sad dle I saw-that the ssad farthest away was'enaged in a desperate fight with a party of Indians, who were n foot shooting, striking an d darting hither and thither like so many demons. " We LostanUy wheeled and hurried back, as fast as we cooid, to the help of our comrades ; but before we could reach lhem three saddles were emptied, and Geroniaio and Lis warriors were scurry ing across the plain at a speed greater than any to which we crild for.-e our exhausted ponies, who sank to their fet locks at every step. We gave them a parting volley, which wounded several, bet they managed to limp off with the help of others, aid ali were beyond dan ger. I don't know how far they travel ed off over that bnrning desolation, but it may Lave been many miles, for they were capable of doing it if the chose. " Those Apaches must Lave discovered our approach while we were a g-jod way crL Knowing we were on our return to the pct they could easily calculate where we woa'd pass. Then they bur rowed in &e sand, covering themselves entirely with the blistering pattie'es so that only their snake-like eyes peered forth. Thus we passed within a few rods of them w ithoct suspecting their presence. " In conversation with me about this extraordinary incident. General Crook smiled, and said : " ' I am not surprised. I have seen them do the same thin g m self; but the Apache is the only indian that can do it." -yW r-rt 2f,vr. Wa ning to Republicans.

A poor old wo man, her clothes clinging to her worn oat frame, and with tears running down her cheeks entered the room and asked Mr. Lincoln for a pass thAt she might go to nurse her son, who was fc a field ucs pitaL The President told her that it was impossible; that no pass cooUi be given to anyone outside of ths military. " Her grief," said Mr. Kinsley, "was pitiable. Se pleaded with Mr. Lincoln to be allowed to go and nurse her boy, till at last the President every muscle in his rugvd face quivering with emotion, tamed to his desk, wrote a few liners. handed it to her and said : ' Tuere is your pass ; go to Secretary Stanton and gei it countersigned.' "The woman thankfully received the note and withdrew to the Secretary 's quarters. "After her departure, Mr. Lincoln leaned Lis head npon his hand, and in silence waited the storm he knew would follow, when Stanton had seen what the missive was. He was not kept fong in suspense. Tbe door flew open, and ia CAtoe Stanton greatly excited. " Mr. President' he said, 'dont yoa know that under bo circumstances, can a pans be given to a civilian why did you give a pass to this woman T "titick as a flash came the answer: ' Becau-ss she djn t wear hoops.'

Mas Busby had a good farm, and it was well stocked and conducted bv her self in a lucrative manner. Mr. Higgins lived neighbor to her, and had a pretty good farm himself.
