GALLANTRY REWARDED.
I gay, Mndclox, whBt are you going
to do now V
I am coing to help that old lady oo
tho cars.
Well, if yon don't beat all for
spoony then I am mistaken. Do you
take charge ot ail ine oiu women,
stray babies and unprotected females
that you meet in traveling?"
Yes. if I soe they need help, bo if
hyou have no reasonablo objections to
n ler. l will leave you lor a iew mo
ments and assist that old lady as i
proposed.' So sayinir, young Maddox
sprang from the train, which was just
on the point of starting and went to
render assistance to the person in ques
tion. She was loaded down with bag
gagecarpet bag, band box and" par
cels innumerable. Ha took the two
first, nnd thea pit fling her safely on
the cars came near being left himself,
so very Awkward did he find it to man
age so many incumbrances.
After lie had got the old lady com
fortably seated with her numerous
packages all hhout her, she countgd
them several times to be euro, nothing
was misring.
. '? . . . . as
'My rubbers are in this one, . she
said, 'because I thought it might rain,
and I always have rheumatism when I
wet niy leet. My best cap is in thut,
lifting it very carefully, 'for I expect
to stay a day or two, perhaps, nnd our
folks see lots of company. Sly knit
ting is in that one there, for I thought
might pet tired sittiug with my
hands folded. This one is full of
doughnuts for the children, nnd that
near you holds two pairs ot socks for
my son, because he thinks he cannot
buy uny as good as those hU old moth
cr makes. They are alUhere I see, safe
and 1 am much obliged to you, young
man. for attending to me. ion will
make a cood husband ono of these
days.'
So, bluslnntr and laughing, the gen
tleman went back to join his disgusted
companion, who had watched the pro
ceedings with a withering contempt.
JNow, be commenced, 'will you tell
me what you wanted to make a. fool of
yourself that way for 7
'I do not acknowledge that I have
done so yet. Another thing, my moth
er sometimes travels; don't your's?'
'She never goes alono,' was tho short
reply. 'If she does she will have too
much sense ever to trouble people with
her bags and bundles.'
'Yes, if she forms her opinion of
other people from her own son. In
that case I think she might hesitate
sometimes. I am going to talk with
the nice old lady.'
And Harry Maddox left his old
friend to join his new one, for such she
afterward proved. She put aside all
her bundles and made room for him to
sit down by her.
'So you nave come to talk with the
old lady have you?' she asked, smiling
a cordial welcome.
'Yes ni'am,' ho replied, 'if it will
not be intrusive.'
'Oh no, wo old women like attention
as well, if not better, than pretty
young girls; -and you are avery good
looking fellow.' " '
Thauk you,' said Harry, 'But I did
not know that you would care to talk
to a. giddy pate like me.'
Harry began to be' much amused,
and so they kept up a merry talk, un
til the train stopped at the station
whore the lady intended to get out.
But just before this she said to her
young companion.
'Now, Mr. Maddox, I think you
will be rewarded for your kindness to
an old woman. I will introduce you.
when we stop, to just as pretty a girl
as there is in New York State, if she
is my granddaughter.- They say she
looks just like me,' and she laughed
mischievously.
When it was time to leave the cars,
Harry took tho carpet bag, band-box,
big bundle, little bundle, and as he
lilted the lady on the 'platform, she
was saluted by the prettiest little spec
imen of female humanity he had ever
seeu, the young man thought.
.byes bJack as night, but sort and
melting, red lips and cheeks, and
black curling hair, a neat little figure
set ofT by an elegant traveling suit, all
presented a picture that he never for
got as long as he lived.
'Mary,' said the grandmother, 'this
is Mr. Maddox. He has been very
kind to me, and now I want you to be
iv ir..
Kinu to mm ana not treat mm as you
do some young men I know.'
She made a yery saucy bow, and
said :
'But, grandma, you don't know aB
Mr. Maddox will care to, receive any
kindness from me, or to be bothered
by mo, any way. 1 should not give
bim quite so many bundles to carry
though.
'Why, grandma, what have you got
in them all !
'No matter, you saucy girl. Mr.
Maddox, are you willing to take
charge of such a wild thing ?'
'I consider myself very fortunate to
AUGUST 12, 1874.
have tho chance. But tho cars nre
about to start, and wo had belter get
on nt once.'
So the ynung lady bade her friends
good bye and tripped along by the
side of our hero, who handed her in,
and swept past his ungracious chum,
to take the scat tho old lady had oc
cupied, enjoying the little episode ex
ceedingly. The young lady was intelligent ns
well as pretty, and chatted with Har
ry as if she had known him for years.
After a whilo ho would go and see how
his friend was getting along ) no, ex
cusing himself, he left the pretty May,
and returned to the former. ' v,
Who is that handsome girl 7 was
the first inquiry.
'She is the old lady s grand-daugh
tor,' replied Harry very complacenty,
'Introduce me, will you 7
'Indeed I shall not do nnything of
the kind.
Why nof?"
'Because I do not feel priviledged to
take any such liberty. I have just
been introduced myse.t.
She is the handsomest girl 1 havo
seen this long time, and if you don't
introduce me, I will manago in some
way to mako her acquaintance see if I
don t.
'I hope for your own sake that you
will do nothing rude.
'Don t be concerned about that,
beg of you. But I do think, Maddox,
that you might introduce an old chum
like me. bhe is deuced preltv, too,
Why her eves shino like stars s
'Yes, and she's fully as agreeable as
she ia pretty. I never met a brighter
or more intelligent girl, jorry 1 did
not teel well enough acquainted to in
troduce' a friend. Good bye, Sam;
something really magnetic about the
young girl. I feel drawn toward her
in a way that is incomprehensible, so
I will bid you good-bye, and go
back to enjoy her society once more ;'
and with n provoking emile, Harry
left his companion, who could only
enjoy the privilege of looking at the
attractive little lady.
He watched the two in quite n dis
consolate manner, for, to tell tho truth,
he had fallen desperately in love with
May, and envied Harry every beaming
glance and smile she had bestowed up
on him. She was going to visit in the
very town in which the young man
lived, so that our hero had the plea
sure of her society for several hours,
during which time their acquaintance
ripened very rapidly, and when they
parted, May gave him a cordial invita
tion to visit her.which he accepted with
evident delight and vory soou took ad
vaetage of.
Tho young lady, was visiting her
aunt, a Mrs. Cook, who knew Harry
by reputation, nnd ea welcomed him
graciously to her house. He soon bo
came a frequent visitor, aud then offer
ed to give his friend, Sam Burleigh
the introduction he bad for some time
desired, and which he now accepted,
becoming thereupon a more constant
caller than Harry himself.
One evening a number of young
people were called in Mrs. Cock s ele
gant parlors, when the conversation
happened to die out for a while. .May
proposed that each should tell a story.
lho proposition met with general
approval, and was carried on with
great zeal and enjoyment by all con
cerned; laughter and applause pray
ing the success of each narrator.
When it come May s turn she gave
a full and lively acount of the inci
dent iust related, repeating the con
versation of the young men almost
word for word. Harry's face grew
redder and redder, and would certain
ly have betrayed him, if May had
once glanced iu his direction, but she
carefully avoided meeting his eye.
Sara, in tho meantime, instead of
crowing red, grew very pale, for in this
sudden disclosure of his rudeness, he
read the downfall of his dearest hopes,
and excusing himsclt soon afterward
he took his leave, feeling angry and
mortified enough.
The next morning ho called, bright
and early at the otiico of young Mad
dox, and saluted him with the excla
mation.
'I bay Harry, that was a pretty mean
trick you served me !
'What do you mean?'
Why, telling May Stanton all that
ridiculous story.
'I never told her ono word about it.
and I am just as much in the dark as
you are.'
'Yo never told her! Who in this
world was it then V
'I have not the slightest idea, but
I must say that my curiosity is a good
deal excited about it, and 1 am going
around this morning to ask her.
'Well, 1 have received my conge,
that is evident enough, and 1 suppose
that I shall soou have an opportunity
to oiler you iny congratulations.
A short. time afterward, Maddox was
seated on a enug little sofa, by the side
of his lntlv love, looking very well
pleased with his situation, which migh
bo said ol his companion.
$2 TEH ANNUM.
Will you. tell me,' ho brcran, 'how
you fuiind out all the story that you
told last night?'
'Do you want to know very much?'
she inquired mischievously.
xes 1 do indeed, be replied.
She laughed a little, nnd then said :
'I was introduced yesterday to n
lady, who immediately exclaimed : 'I
hnve-scen you before, Miss Stanton.'
Where? I inquired, nnd then she
went on to say that she saw me in the
seat thnt day, and noticed everything
that had occurred, as she happened to
be occupying tho seat right behind
you aud Mr. Burleigh aud heard eve
rything you said. Funny how things
happen sometimes isu tit?
'Tvot so tunny lor poor ham, though;
ho is feeling vory much mortilicd
about it.'
'Did you come here to plead his
cause then?' inquired May petulantly.
He looked nt her a moment, and
then said : v
'No, I would rather plead ray own
which he must have done most iuc
cessfully, for Mrs. Cook, happening'to
enter iu a quiet way, about half an hour
afterward withdrew rather more quick
ly than 1she went in, and meeting her
hushand, said :
'I have iust interrupted a very in
teresting interview between May and
Maddox.'
'Indeed 1 what is the matter?'
'Well, the matter is they nro en
gaged, if ono can judge from theaffeo
tionate tableaux they presented.
'1 nm glad ot it. lor Maddox is n
very fine young man.'
Sam Burleigh felt his disappoint
mcnt most keenly for a while, but he
acknowledged it was a just punish
meat for his churlishness.
Moisal. l'oung meu should always
be polite to old ladies, for old ladies
are very mueh inclined to havo pretty
grand-daughter3.
It :s so difficult to break up estab
lished modes of action nnd turn the
channels of one's activities iu uew di
rections, that it is not surprising that
the mature m life, who have buflered
from not being started right iu the
first place, should lay, ns they nre in
clined to, great stress on tho import
ance of making in all things a good
beginning, lhero are lew habits winch
fonna pretty good Inundation tor sue
cess in life nnd insuro the friendship
of the discerning and virtuous.
i. irst among these we would place
the habit of self-help. This may and
should be formed in a child before it
can walk or talk, by providing re
sources for its amusement, and leaving
it, within due bounds, to depend upon
those resouices. ihen as it grows
older it should be taught and gently
compelled to perforin in its own behalf
all that it can' do. Few of us but
know young people perfectly helpless
for all the ordinary uses of lif'o. If
they alono were tho Eiillercrs it
wouldn't matter much, but they are
social leeches, nlwnys demanding Ber
vice nnd never rendering it. Oood
husbands, good wives, good parents
rarely if ever are found in this class
of people They are so dependent
upon others so perfectly unused to
the graver uses of existence that i.o
reliance can bo pltced upon them
they are of littlo use in the world
l arents, no moral is nocded ; look to
your children enable them to be of
use; lor unless they pobssss this lacul
ty, humanity is no better for - having
known them.
The death of Lady Amber'.y (who,
by tho way, was well and most .favor
ably known in American society), re
minds us that it was her husband,
Lord Amberly, son of Earl llussell,
whose account of his resources once
proved so incomprehensible to a travel

Lord Amberly.
The Yank turned his heavy quid
over to the other check, spit out of the

"Well, said his lordship, smiling,
"I get it from my father."
"And what does be do for a liviu ?"
'Oh. be lias a large property what
you call real estate, you kuown."
Yank restored the nuid to his right

A married man in Greenfield, whom
we will cnll Charles, got up ono morn
ing nnd procf-eded to put on his shirt,
which his wife had just made for him
after a uew pattern.. As she stood nt
tho mirror curling her hair, sho heard
a suppressed sound, halfway between
it groau nnd an nath, nnd turning
round, said, laughing, "Whv, toy
dear!"
"Shut up!" he ejaculated, '.'you nro
a born fool. Never let n woman at
tempt to fit a shirt ; she rnn't do it; ia
nc of the impossibilities.
"But, diaries"
"Don't you talk ; let me talk. D
vou think I nm going down in this
rig? A pretty disposition yon'v9 got; -because
I happened to find a littlo
fault last week with your ironing you
must go nnd make n shirt without a
bosom ! Such malicious conduct, mad
am, la unpardonable."
"Well"
"Shut up, I snv; I won't hear n
word ; when a etnichcd shirt is tho
only finery n man indulges in, is ho
not excusable lor being particular in
regard to that, I should like to know!
And this thing sets like the devil.
Look how baggy it is hero in front,
nnd it feels behind as if there was n
board bound across me," walking up
nnd look in tho glass, hoisting up one
shoulder nnd then tho other, after tho
indescribable manner of men trying
on a new garment.
Ilia wile almost dared not speak,
but said : ''Charles, my dear, you havo
tho front behind," and bringing a good
sized mirror from the next room, sho
held it up behind him for a moment,
and perceiving by his chop-fallen ex
pression Urn; he saw the point, nnd
tho front, sho ran down stnirs to settle
tho co flee, nnd soe that Bridget had
set tho table geometrically.
As Charles walked down to h.ia ol-
fico that morning, ho said to tho first
friend he mot: "I tell you Tom, that
littlo wife of mine is a born genius.
Look nt this shirt, now; sho cut nnd -
mndo it herself. Do yo.it see, it is open
behind no confounded buttonholes to
bother a fellow. Just send your wife
for tho pattern."
And it was by tho wny of lonia
wifo that Liz;:io knew Charles was
pleased with his shirts.

Colonel Ludlow, chief of the engi
neers in tho Blaek Hills expedition,
was it freshman nt West Point. Gcu-
erni v. tisior was nuont tograiitiato, ami
has tho former to blame becauso ho
did not get a graduate's diploma. Tho
fact has been recalled iu the associa
tion of tho past few days, and I will
tell it ns General Ciistar told it nt din
ner one dav. lie tnlks very rapidly
so rapidly thnt ho repents his words
in a peculiar manner, which I cannot
reduce to writing. "Why, you see,"
said the rnider, gesturing over a tureen
of soup, "Ludlow was it grccuy, but
he hail pluck, and ono evening, when
I was officer of tho day, somo upper
class men pitched on to him, and ho
showed fight. Tho boys encouraged
them until they got into a goodsqunro
out-and-outer, just ns I wns going my
rounds. Instead of sending both ot
them, as I should, to tho guard-house,
you know, I pushed back some fellows
thnt wcro trying to trip Ludlow, nnd
said thut thcro must be fair play. It
was a good one, and Ludlow was get
ting the best of it, when the boys be
gan to interfere ngnin. I was just
getting ray hand in ngnin, whan old
, instructor in artillery, cania
around, nnd instead of arresting Lud
low nnd the other fellow, ho locked mo
up for nllowing tho fight to go on, aud
I was in tho guard-house when, my
class graduated. But they wanted
soldiers nt Washington just then, nnd
the)' sent me on. I never went back
there ngnin."
In illustration of the ignon.nco
commonly concerning house-keeping
displayed "ny men whoso wives lmvo
gone into tho country, the Wilming
ton (Del.) Commercial relates this
story: Wo observed a pleasunt in
stance of feminine apprehension of tho
weakness of the maseulino intellect in
that direction on the part of a fcmalo
dealer in vegetables the other eveuing.
A boy presented a basket with tho
succinct demand : "Mr. wnnu
ulf-peck tomatoes." "Half-a-pcck !"
echoed the huckster, with surprise. "A
