ONE AT A TIME.
One step at a time, and that well placed,
We rearb the grandest height ;
One stroke at a time, earth's hidden stores
Will slowly come to light ;
One seed at a time, and the forest grows ;
One drop at a time and the river flows
Into the boundless sea.
One word at a time, and the greatest book
Is written and is read ;
One stone at a time and the palace rears
Aloft IU stately head.
One blow at a time, the tree's cleft through.
And a city will stand where a forest grew
A few short years licfore.
One foe at a time, and he subdued.
And the conflict will be won ;
One grain at a time, and the sands of life
Will slowly all be run ;
One minute, another, the hours fly;
One day at a time ou lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain of knowledge, and that well stored.
Another, and more of them ;
And as time rolls on, your mind will shine
With many a garnered gem
Of thought and wisdom. And time will tell
"One thing at a time, and that done well,"
Is wisdom's proven rule.
Christian I'nion,
A PAIR OF NIECES.
You can't expect me to supMrt you
in idleness any longer,' said Mrs.
I'lisdell, a tall, stout woman with level
black brows, very red lips, and a loud
voice.
The woman's two young nieces sat
by the window, shrinking back as if
every word had been a blow. They
had been with their aunt a month
just long enough for the grass to be
come green on their father's grave,
and the crape trimmings on their
frocks to grow a little crumpled and
rusty.
'And now,' went on the portly dame,
'it is time for you to do something for
yourselves. I'm not rich, you know;.'
'Uut we don't know what to do,
Aunt Matilda,' said Kate.
'We are willing to work if any one
would show us how,' murmured (iin-
evra.
HJeneral Livingston wants a gov
erness for his granddaughters, six and
seven vears old. Music, French and
Latin required. You shall take that
position, Oiuevra,' said her aunt.
The taller of the girls changed col
or.
'I don't know much alout music,'
said she. 'Papa taught me I.atiu ; but
I'm quite ignorant of French.
'.Say you know it,' said Mrs. Ubs-
dcll, sharply, 'and do the best you can.
(Jem-nil Livingston is at home very
little. Twenty to one he'll never find
it out. At all events, I've told Miss
Jenks, the housckeeier, that you will
be there to-morrow at 9 o'clock io take
the situation.'
'Hut, Aunt Matilda, wouldn't that lie
acting a lie?" faltered the girl.
'A lie, indeed,' almost screamed Mrs.
rbsdell, her eyes ablaze with auger.
How dare you use that word to me,
tiinevra Hall? As for you, Kate, you
are to go as companion to Miss Ilamo-
na Hav. Stie's as deaf as a post, and
you've got a good, clear voice to read
aloud to her. file's ld tempered and
exacting, but it's the business of you
young people to give way to your eld
ersand any way you have your living
to earn.'
The girls looked aghast at each other
when Mrs. Ubsdell left the room.
What shall we do ?' asked Kate.
'Oliey, I suppose,' sighed (Jinevra.
'It is all very evident that we are un
welcome here. Aunt Ubsdell grudges
every bit of bread we eaL Oh, Kate,
if we could only have died and been
buried with papa.'
'We must do the liest we can,' said
Kate, who was dark, with soft velvety
eyes, and skin as fair and fine-grained
as a Hemiuda lilly. 'Perhaps this Miss
Hay is not so bad as we think. I shall
try to la? paticnL'
'And I am to enter the family of an
aristoeratunder false pretense,' cried
Ginevra. 'I hope I shall earn my
salary.'
Ginevra was as unlike as possible to
her dark haired sister a rosy, dimpled,
childish girl, w ho scarcely hioked her
seventeen years.
Kate looked at her with tender re
gret. 'The idea of your being a gov
erness,' she exclaimed.
'Urofyour turning lady's compan
ion,' retorted Ginevra. 'Hut I do lie-
lieve, Kate, we would go as giisy for
tune tellers, or take situations as scul
lery maids, to get out from under Aunt
Matilda's eye.'
Miss Kamona Ray was rather deaf,
there could be no doubt alioutthat.
Hut Kate Hall had a clear, distinct
enunciation, and found little trouble in
making her hear.
And really her temper was not so
very bad after all.
It was necessary to lie very particu
lar In her care of her parrot, and the
daily bath of her poodle dog, and wat
ering of her plants, and the prepara
tion of the rose creams and the lilly
lotions that she used for her venerable
complexion.
Hut she conceived a decided fancy for
her new companion ; took her out in
the carriage for a daily drive, and told
her the whole story of the Mexican
officer who had once been engaged to
her, and who went away to Chapulte
pec or some of tluwe Kr syllalieled
places and married a !iinish senora,
even while Miss Raiuona's wedding
cake was being baked.
When Miss Kamona told this story
to any one it was a sign of a very high
favor indeed.
Miss Ramona had only one relative
in the world, a nephew, and he was a
naval officer. And, as it happened,
he came home on a visit when Kate
had been a week with his aunt, burst
ing into the room at twilight, like a
cheerful tornado.
'Well, Aunt Mona,' said he, 'here I
am. Got your letter at Norfolk. What
sort of a companion have you got now?
Regular old maid, eh? or a widow in
dyed bombazine and eye-glasses?'
'Hush, Geoffrey,' said Miss Ray.
'Kate, my dear, bring candles. This
young lady is my companion at pres
ent. Miss Hall, allow me to present
my nephew, LieuL Mossmoro."
'You see,' said Kate, laughing, 'I
am neither an old maid nor a widow.'
'I'm sure I beg ten thousand par
dons,' said the lieutenant, blushing
mahogany color.
Meanwhile Ginevra had gone to her
situation at Livingston Larches, where
set
ESTABLISHED 1827.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1895.
two blooming little maidens were sit
ting up in the school room, with clean
slates and shitless new school liooks,
waiting for their governess.
Miss Jenks was on hand to introduce
the stranger to her new domains.
"You're rather young, miss,' said
she, 'and insignificant looking for the
place. Mrs. Ubsdell told me'
'I shall do my liest,' said Ginevra,
with gentle dignity; 'and I do not
doubt that I shall succeed very well.'
"Hut Eva and Ella were Imrn rebels.
They had conquered governess after
governess, and driven them ofT defeat
ed. They liked the excitement of it,
and did not like to study, and the nat
ural sequence was that in less than an
hour Ginevra Kali was in tears.
Eva had imitated her French accent
with scorn. Ella had mischievously
rubbed out the figures on the slate as
often as Miss Hall made them, and
when the hour of noon recreation came,
and the little mutineers rushed out to
play on the lawn, poor Ginevra hid
herself among the palms in the conser
vatory to weep without stint.
'Is anything the matter? asked a
voice.
'Ah, I lieg your pardon,' said Gin
evra, reddening to the very roots of
her hair. 'I didn't mean to lie in the
way, if you are the gardener, I just
broke ofT this little orange blossom. I
may keep it T
'You may keep it certainly,' said a
tall, fine looking man, who was trim
ming the superfluous branches from a
magnificent white blossomed daphne.
'I thought perhas you had pricked
your ringer on the great Colorado
cactus and hurt yourself. You seem
ed to be crying.
'It wasn't the cactus,' muttered Gin
evra ; 'it was the children.
'The children ?'
'They won't mind,' explained Gin
evra ; 'they only laugh at me, and I
don't know what to do.'
The stranger opened the side dxr,
which, garlanded over with passion
flowers, looked on the lawn, and called
out in stern, imiierative tones, 'chil
dren r
Eva dropped her croquet mallcL
Ella left otrmunching strawberries.
Hoth obeyed the newcomer at once.
'Have you lieen disolieying this
young lady?' questioned Ginevra's
champion.
'X-no,' faltered Ella, 'we didn't dis
obey her, we only didn't do as she
told us.'
'Very well.' said he, 'hereafter you
will be a good little class or there shall
be no more boating on the river for you
or rides on the cream colored ionics ;
and nothing but bread and water for
dinner. Do you understand ?
'Yes, sir,' murmured Ella, meekly.
'Yes, graudfia,' said Eva, obediently.
Ginevra looked up in surprise.
'You are not General Livingston?'
said she.
'How do you know I am not?
'I-I thought you were the gardener.'
'I do garden sometimes; but the
gardener is a snufty old Scotchman, in
a wig and H-p(ier-aud-salt suiL'
'Hut General Livingston is an old
gentleman, isn't lie?"
'Five and forty if you call that old.
I see how it is,' said the master of the
house, laughingly. 'You are misled
by those little sprites calling me grand
pa hi. My late wife was a widow, con
siderably older than myself. Eva and
Ella are her grandchildren, nut mine.
This may explain some of the incon
sistencies that puzzle you, Miss Hall.
And now, if you will resume the charge
of the young Turks, I think I can
guarantee that they shall make you no
more troubl-.'
He was right. Eva was docile aany
kitten ; Ella sweeter than an angel.
Evidently some miracle was wrought
"You see,' said Eva, 'when grand
papa says a thing he means it'
'And we are so afraid he'll send us
to Isiarding school,' whispered Ella.
General Livingston came in toward
evening to see that the children kept
faith, and then Ginevra made her con
fession to him.
"I have deceived you, sir,' said she.
'I don't know French at all ; liut my
aunt told me I must not let you know
it.'
And then she told him the simple
story of her liereaveinent and depend
ence. 'And if French is essential,' she ad
ded, 'I must go back to Aunt Matilda,
but I couldn't keep on deceiving you,
when you had been so kind to me.'
General Livingston smiled.
'Yon are a good little girl,' said he,
'and we must try to dispense with
French for the present.'
After this Ginevra found very little
trouble. The children, wild and way
ward though they bad been at first,
became attached to her, and were
quick to learn. At the end of six
months Mrs. Ubsdell came to Living
ston Larches.
'Ginevra,' said she, 'you must strike
for higher salary. Every one else is
doing iL'
Oh, Aunt Matilda,' cried the girl,
'I can'L The terms are too liberal al
ready. I feel that I am not earning
the money I receive.'
Mrs. Ubsdell, however, insisted.
'I will go to General Livingston my
self,' said she. 'These aristocrats can't
expect to grind every one down into
the earth.'
Poor Ginevra burst into tears ; but
Mrs. Ubsdell was implacable.
Ginevra scarcely dared look General
Livingston in the face when she met
him in the garden, a couple of hours
later. His face wore au amused ex
pression. Miss Hall,' said he, 'your aunt has
been kind enough to iy me a visit'
'Please don't think I had anything
to do with it,' said she, almost inaud
ibly. 'I am too well aware that lam
already overpaid.'
General Livingston looked calmly at
her.
'Miss Hall,' said he, 'I've been think
ing matters over, and I have come to
the conclusion to dispense with your
services as governess in the future.'
Ginevra involuntarily clasped her
hands ; she grew imle.
Oh,' she cried, 'must I go back to
Aunt Matilda? And I was so happy
here.'
'Ginevra,' said General Liviugston,
'I am five-and-forty years old and yet
I have been sanguine enough to hope
that I ran win the love of a girl of
seventeen. It is for you to decide
whether I am right or wrong.'
'For we?
'I have fallen in love with you,
Ginevra. Tell me will you be my
wife instead of the children's govern
ess ?'
She stole one timid glan at him.
It was as if some strong, serene arch
angel had stooped from a celestial
clime to ask her to nestle under the
shadow of his gleaming wings. Did
he suspect how long she had secretly
worshipped him? Had he ieuetrated
into the mysteries of her heart? That
glance, however, was a sullk-ient an
swer. He put out his hand and drew
her to his heart.
'My darling ! my own darling V was
all that he said.
Ginevra Hall was standing in the
shadow of the tree ferns in the conser
vatory that evening when the garden
er showed in a young lady. It was
her sister.
Ginevra,' said Kate, 'Aunt Matilda
has been to see me. Surely she has
not succeeded in making you dis.nn
tented with your situation ?
'Dearest Kate,' said Ginevra, 'lam
going to tell you a secret. I am to lie
General Livingston's wife next week.
Oh, I am so thankful that I came here.
I don't think there ever was a girl so
happy before.'
'Except me,' said Kate. I also am
to be married to Lieut Geoffrey IUiss
more. And Miss May is so pleased
and proud.'
And Mrs. Ubsdell arrogates to her
self all the credit of having settled her
nieces so well iu life.
'They ought to be very much oI
liged to me,' she says. 'If it hadn't
been for me it never would have hap-jiened.'
Ah Indian Boy's Pony.
Thus led by those dedicated to relig
ious service, the tribe leaves its village,
the people by families dropping into
line men, well mounted, bearing their
weaious ready for use; women, in gala
dress, riding their dtcoruted jamics,
older ones leading the pack-horses; lit
tle children in twos and threes ujsiii
the backs of steady old nags, or snugly
stowed away in the swinging jsiueli
lietween the teiit-M)!es; and the dogs
trotting complacently everywhere.
Here and there along the line of the
cavalcade is a lad being initiated into
individual rcstMinsitiility. He lias lieen
Uhiii the hunt U-fore, as one of the
family, but this is the first step toward
going indejiendcnily ttneared for as a
child. The father has lassoed a wild
horse, saddled and bridled l.im, and
now bids his son mount the animal.
The Uiy hangs liaek; the the colt is a
fiery creature, ami already restive un
der restraint The father tells his s.n
that the horse shall le his own when
he has conquered it, but the lad docs
not move. The lookers-on are smiling,
and the cavalcade does not wait. "Get
up," says the father.
The lmy slowly advances, and the
colt quickly recedes; but the lsy,
grasping his mane, swings himself in
to the saddle. The father lets go, and
so does the colt rears, jumjis, wriggle,
humjis his hack like an infuriated cat,
stands ou his fore legs and kicks at his
own tail, juiws the air and stamps the
earth, but the Uiy clings to him until
w ith a sudden jerk the saddle-girth is
broken, and he is landed over the head
of the excited creature, which runs for
dear life and lilierty. Hrotight back,
protesting by twists and shakes of his
head, he is again mounted, and again
frees himself.
After two or three rcjietitions of this
sort of things, the boy becomes angry,
and the mother grews anxious. She
runs to her son as he is scrambling up
from the ground, feels him all over,

CAPTAIN TISSUE AGAIN.
Some people are hard to please ; so
much so that they are never satisfied
with anything. This seems to be the
case with ""Dicher Ben," who sain
comes to the front, doubting Tlioms
Irke, refusing to lie convinced, without
seeing and knowing things himself.
"Dicher lien" is loo iwssimistic; he
would lie like the Irishman w ho was
not satisfied when he was alsmt to lie
hangeiL "Dicher Ben", however, is
right when he says, "It is a difficult
matter to write up events of local his
tory after a hundred years have toss
ed." In the la-t year or so, different
parties have been writing histories,
military and political, of XaiMlinn
Bonaparte, yet no one is living, in this
country at least, who ever saw Nittht
leon, or who can give any necessary
data. All history of local or national
events must necessarily be written, to a
great extent, from hearsay evidence ;
fur not much is w ritten while the act
ual partieipa Uts are alive, as a general
thing.
If the writer's father were living, he
would lie nearly one hundred yearsoM,
and his mother would lie nearly ninety
two, and they Utth knew Capt. Tissue
well ; both saw 'him scores of times ;
both heard from disown lijis the story
of the dreadful tragedy which wrecked
his home. Some years ago, while the
writer's father was living, he wrote an
elaborate account of the murder, as it
was told him by his father and mother,
both of them agreeing on all points as
Capt. Tissue related it to them. That
account could be found among the tiles
of the taper in which it was published;
and in no particular d.ics it differ, ex
cept in the mere matter of detail, from
the recent accounts of the writer.
Of course, the writer knows nothing
about the matter personally, only as he
obtained the information as stated, and
lielieves it to lie corr--et. The writer
has explained how ('apt Tissue cam.'
to have the German "redcmptioiiist."
"Dicher Ben" will not deny that the
murder occurred on the Sullivan farm,
but he does not seem to lie of one opin
ion very long ; for, in a former com
munication, he said Isaac Tissue, ('apt.
Tissue's son by his second wife, was a
son of Jacob Tissue, who he now says
was his brother, iu which l.t-t state
ment he is, donl'tlesc, correct.
Isaac Tissue is said by the History of
Somerset County, which by the way is
incorrect in a great many statements,
to have lieen born in IT'J.'S. This state
ment is likely to lie aliout right, lie
cause the writer's father was younger
than Isaac Tissue. Then, admitting
"Dicher lien" to be correct, the murder
could not have occurred many years
after the war closed. licsidcx, in all
probability, Isaac Tissue was not the
oldest child ; indeed, the writer has no
knowledge of any older ones ; an.', he
knew Isaac Tissue well, so that Capt.
Ti.-ue insist have been married the
second time soon after the w ar. But,
all theories ami accounts t the con
trary, the writer has been told the story
a great many times ; ami it was always
told him that the murder occurred while
the Captain was in the army ; that the
( ierman stayed in the Imrn several days
with the little lmys; that word was
sent to the Captain, who was in the
eastern tart of the state somewhere ;
that he came home ; that he took the
German to jail in liedford; that after
wards he returned to the service, and
remained until the close of the war.
The w riter does not know now w hat
part of the state Capt Tissue was in at
the time. It is possible he may have
Ih-cu no farther than liedford, as that
may have lieen a place of rendezvous
for the Continental troops. The writer
only gives this as a possibility, and it
in no way changes the facts iu the case.
The writer only knows that Capt. Tis
sue was a German by birth, or at least
of German extraction, in the same w ay
that he knows the balance of the story;
and he still has every reason to liclieve
that he was of German birth.
"Dicher Ben" seems to feel hurt Le
ctttise the writer can not fix the exact
date of the murder. He certainly has
done as well in that direction as "Dich
er Ben" ; for all he cau say, even with
the assistance of Mr. Israel Welrtey is,
that it was not very sion after the close
of the revolutionary war. Mr. Weltley
is not altogether right iu his opinion
regarding the capture of the murderer
soon after he committed the crime, lie-
cause he was hidden in the bam sev
eral days. The murder and burning of
the house were known next day; but
the German's hiding-place was not dis
covered until some time after; the
Captain having in the meantime lieen
sent for. There does not seem to lie
anything especially wonderful iu the
fact, for it Is a fact, that the Captain
was able to get home to avenge the
murder of his family and become the
captor of the murderer; indeed, it
would lie much more singular if he had
not come home. At any rate he did
come home. Suppise Capt. Tissue
had ln-cn at Bedford, or even two days'
journey beyond, a horsemau ctiuld easi
ly have reached him, and had him
home in less than a week. Now
'Dicher lien" must not pick the w riter
up on this matter, because it is only a
! suptosition ; and since the fact remains
uncontradicted that Capt. Tissue was
away somewhere when the murder oc
curred, and since the writer has proven
his side of the story in a more direct
manner than "Dicher Ben" ; that is to
say front tersons to whom Capt Tissue
told it, it would seem as though any
one, even more incredulous than
"Dicher Ben," ought to be convinced.
"Dicher Ben" certainly made the as
sertion iu bis former paper that Capt
Tissue was of English extraction, al
though he now says he did not. Of
course, in this cosmopolitan country
the manner of spelling or pronouncing
names does not amount to much, since
in a generation or so, Germans, Irish,
Italians, or any other nationality Ins
come so Americanized that they lose
their distinctive original characteris
tics. But there is just as much reason
to liclieve that Capt. Tissue was of ( ier
man birth or extraction, as there is to
believe anything else connected with
his history. The writer never pretend
ed to know how be spelled his name ;
he only accepted the anglicized spell

ing adopted by his descendants iu this
country at this time.
"As "Iicher Ben" truthfully, al
though somewhat ambiguously, says:
"The honest Inquirer after the truth
doesn't always know where to go to git
the most reliable statements of the facts
as they really occiirriil, until after he
finds his own statements contradicted
by som.-me who pretends to know let
ter," he should allow himself to be
come convinced by the foregoing state
ments, which, as the writer said iu the
ptqier which called forth "Dicher
Ben's" denials, were sultstautially and
certainly true. A good deal has lieen
said first and last alntut the original
sn-lling of ('apt Tissue's name. With
out pretending to have any familiarity
with the Gerui.m language, the writer
believes and sili;jests that the name
originally wu- s; -llel s t:n .-vhiii lik-;
this: Tashoti. "Dicher lien" can, and
ni'tst likely will, correct this ; but it is
(litilitf il whether he can improve it
very much. "Dicher lien" says the
story as he heard it from Mr. Weltley,
"looks like a correct statement." He
ought to know, at this time of life, how
d-ceptie apiiearances are, and would
do well to remeuittt-r "that all that
glitters is not gold." M.

The Rescue.
Three pairs of Baltimore orioles built
their nests in the Unighs of the elms
shading a large garden. Though on
separate trees, they were all close to
gether and the birds were all on very
good terms. In other trees round about
and in the shru'is and bushes lieneath
were the n,-sts of other birds robins,
bluebirds, blackbir.ls, catbirds, chippy
birds whatnot. Between these out
siders and the orioles there was com
monly K-ace, though the blackbird k
casioi.Iy got into trouble when became
too Hear the orioles" Itests. According
ly, w hen, oil a certain morning, the
birds of all ki'idi were found to in an
upr.iar, screaming nod II y in4 aluiut in
a stute of w il I excitement, She garden
er rati. to set' w hat ni'ed the feathered
crowd.
Til- cau.-e of the trouble was soon
discovered. One of the demure oriole
w ives had caught her head in the
sharp angled fork of a tree limb and
there she hum;, fluttering and unable
toffee herself. The bird community
had assembled in force and had they
U-en endowed with ordinary human
reason, they could not have leen more
excited, more frv with their advice or
less cajiable of offering any real assist
ance. Beyond dashing from plaiv to
pla-e and screaming, the birds, other
than the orioles, did nothing; but the
two si-tcrs of the prisoner not only
thtshed aliout and screamed, but occa
sionally one of them would cateii the
traiH-d bird by a tail feather and give j
her a yank. A it Happened, this ptnl
ing only seemed to wedge the unfortu
nate bird the tighter iu the fork.
To the sj-vta.or in the garden the
fate of the bir.l seemed sealed lieyond
help, and liecatise of this he looked
with astonishment on the time male
orioles, all of which were seated close
together where they could see the
hanging bird, and not one of which
fluttered a feather or made a move.
But just as the gardener was conclud
ing that the female must die, one of
the male orioles, presumably the mate
of the prisoner, flew to the place where
he was hanging, straddled the fork,
grascd her by the Imck of the neck
with his bill, and, bracing himsef,
gave a mighty tug that pulled her free.
Then he dropped her. Instantly re

Training Carrier Pigeons.
IVfWittC. Lock wood writes an ac
count of the "Carrier-Pigeons of Santa
Catalina," describing the rapid mail
service established bvtween the two
placvs in the September .V. Xifhultt.
He says:
It must W understood however, that
in certain pigeons, esjieeially those
known as the Iielgian variety, the
homing instinct is developed in a re
markable degree; and it is the birds'
intense love of home, and the almost
unvarying certainty of their return
thither after having been taken som;
distance away and then released, which
makes them valuable as carriers.
The methods used in training a pig
eon for sHi-ial service are not by any
means similar, as many persons seem
to think, to those employed in teach
ing a dog to rim alter a stick, or a
white-sstted pony to dance tlse polka.
A carrier's education consists in con
veying him away from home and let
ting him go, when he simply flics I Kick
to the loft where he belongs.
This sounds almost as thrilling as
the story of the enterprising mouse that
first ran up the clock and then ran
down again, ami of course it conveys
no idea of the immense amount of care
and patience involved in the rearing
and breeding of the birds the sjiecial
cultivation of those qualities which
produce the liest results, and so on.
In training the birds for Catalina
three or four were usually placed to
gether in a pastelmard box, perforated
w ith hobs about the size eif a quarter
of a dollar. They were e-arricd to a
spot a mile or so from the loft, in a di
rect line for the e-oast and Catalina,
and rele-ased. A few days later the
same birds were taken a groate-r elis
tance away say three or four mile-s
from home and liberated. In this
manner the several sue-ceeding jour
neys were gradually lengthened until
San Peelnt, the seajtort of Los Angeles,
twentv-two miles distant, was reached,
Then the pigeons were taken aboard
thestetimcr and set at 'lilierty a few
mile-s out at seti, increasing the di
tanee Umiii the four occasions that fol
lowed, until at List the end of the route
was reached and the binls would fly,
without fail, across the sea and over
the land to their home.
