I)Y ELIZABETH STUART PHEI.IH.
The solemn Androscocern bell was
ringing lite mill girls in by broad sun
light one nuon, when there cam a a
knock at tlio door, and behind it the
yoiu.g Indy of whom I heard. Deb
was startled by the knock, nnd fright
ened by the young lady. It was not
often that visitors came to Brick Al
ley, and it was still less often that
iirick Alley bad a Visitor mat knock
ed.
This was a young lady for vbom
Deb's mother did fine washing. Dob S
mother wiped ber hands and placed a
chair, and tho young lady sat down.
She was a straight lady, with strong
tect, and long brown leathers in her
hat, and soft brown gloves upon her
hand. She had come, she said, with
that Cluiiy set, which Bhe should need
for a party " this very night; indeed,
she was in so much haste for it that
she had hunted Deb's mother up
which was a matter of some dif
ficulty as she never had the least
idea where sho lived before, and how
crooked the stairs were? But the
lace was very yellow, as she saw, and
would she be sure to have it done by
9 o'clock? and
And then, turning her head sudden
ly, th etraight young lady saw poor,
crooked Dob in her high chair, with
wonder in her eves.
"I wonder if I frightened her."
thought Dob. But she only wondered
and did not speak.
"Is this your "
"Yes," said Deb's mother, "the eld
est, fifteen. I 11 try my best, ma'am:
but I don't know as I ought to prom
ise." She spoke in a business-like
tone, and turned the Cluny lace a
dainty collar and a pair of soft cuffs
about in her hands in ft business
like way. A breath of some kind of
scented wood struck in a l'ttlo gust
against UeD s lace, hhe wondered
how peoplo could weave sweet smells
into a piece of lace, aud if the young
lady knew; or if she knew how much
pleasanter it was than tho onions that
Airs. McMohney cooked for dinner
every day in the week but Suuday, tip
on the first floor. But it gave her
quite enough to do to wonder without
speaking.
"Fifteen!" repeated the young lady,
standing up very straight, and lock
ing very sorry. "How long has she
been like that ?"
"Born so," said Deb's mother
"she's jest set in that chair ever since
she has been big enough to sit at all
Would you try gum on these, miss?"
"But you never told me you had
crippled child ?"
The young lady said this quicklv.
"lou nave wasnea tor me three
years, and you never told me you had
a crippled child r
"1 ou never asked me, Mies," raid
Dch's mother.
The young lady made no reply. She
came and sat down on the edge of
Deb's bed, close beside Deb's chair.
She seemed to have forgotten her
Cluny lace. She took Deb's hand up
between her two soft, brown gloves,
and her long brown feathers drooped,
and touched Deb's cheek. Deb hard
ly breathed, the feathers and the
gloves, and the sweet smells of scented
wood, and the young lady's sorry eyes
such very sorry eyes were so close
to the high chair.
"Fifteen years!" repealed the young
lady, very low, "in that chair that
nobody ever poor little girl! But
you could rido, said she suddenly.
"I don't know, ma'am," said Deb.
"I never saw anybody ride but the
grocer aud the baker. I ain't like the
grocer and the baker."
"You could be lifted, I mean," said
the young lady, eagerly. "There is
somebody who lifts you ?" -
"Mother sets me generally," said
Deb. "Once, when she was very bad
with a lame ankle, Jim McMahoney
set we. He a first floor Jim McMa
honey."
"I shall be back here," said the
young lady, still speaking very quick
ly, but speaking to Deb's mother now;
"id just an hour 1 snail come in an
easy sleigh, with warm robes. If you
will have your daughter ready to take
a ride with me I shall be very much
obliged to you."
The young lady finished her sentence
as if she did not know what to say,
and so said the truest thing she could
think of, which is what we are all in
danper of doing at times.
"Well, I'm sure!" said Deb's moth
er, "Dabitra, tell the lady "
But Dabitra could not tell the lady,
for she was already out of the door,
and down stairs, and away into the
street. And, indeed, Dub could not
have told tha lady has never told
the lady -can never tell the lady.
If all of the blue summer skiea, and
the shine of summer stars fell down
into your hands at once, for you to
paint scrap-books with, should you
know what to say ?
Into the poor little scrap-book of
Deb's life the colors of Heaven drop
pod and blinded her on that bewilder
ing, beautiful, blessed ride.
In just an hour the sleigh was there,
with the easiest cushions, and the
warmest robes, and bells the merri
est bells! and the straight young la
dy." And Jim McMahoney was thnre;
and be carried her down stairs to "set"
her. And her mother was there, and
wrapped her all up in an old red shawl,
for Deb had no "things" like olher
little girls. Tho young lady had re
membered that, and she had brought
the prettiest little white hood that Deb
had ever seen, and Deb's face looked
like a bruised day-lilly bud between
the shining wool, but Deb could not
see that ; ad Mrs. McMahoney was
there, paring onion at the door, to
wish her good luck; and t"e little
McMahoneys were there, and all bb
children who did wonder, and the gro
cer turned in at the alley corner, and
the bakei stopped ns he turned out,
and everybody stood and smiled to
see her start. The white horse pawed
the snow, and he held up his head
Dub had never seen such a horse and
the young lady had gathered the reins
into her brown gloves and the sleigh
bells cried for joy how they cried I
and away they went and Deb was out
of the alley in minute, and the peo
ple in the alley hurrahed, and hur
rahed, and hurrahed to see her go.
That bewildering, beautiful, blessed
ridel How warm the little white hood
was? How the cushions sank beneath
her, and the fur robes opened like
feathers to the touch of her poor thin
hands? How the bell sang to the
icicles, and the slated roofs and sky,
and the-people's face smiled at her.
"What s tbo matter T asked the
young lady; for Deb drew the great
wolf s robe over her lace and head,
sat so for a minute, still and hidden.
The young lady thought she was fright-
eued.
"But I only want to cry a little?"
said Deb8 litftle smothered voice. "I
must cry a little first."
When she bad cried a little sh) held
up her head, and the shine of her
pretty white hood grew faint beside
the Bhine of her eyes and her cheeks.
The bewildering, beautiful, blessed
ride 1
Streets, and a crowd, and church
spires were in it yes, and a weddingl
and a funeral, too; all things that
Deb had seen in her high chair in the
daytime with her eyes shut, she saw in
the sleigh on that ride with her eyes
opened wide.
She was very still. The young lady
did not talk to her, and she did not
talk to the young lady. The horse
held up bis head. It seemed to Deb
to be flying. She thought that he
must be like the awful beautiful horso
in Revelation. She felt as if she could
take her to Heaven j ust as well as not,
if the young lady's brown gloves
should only pull the rein that way.
They rode and rode. In and out of
the merry streets, through and through
the singing bells,- about aud about the
great church spires all over, and over
and over the. laoghing town. They
rode to the river, and the young lndy
stopped the white lforse so that Deb
cnuld look across, and up and down at
the shining stream and the shining
bank.
"There is so much, of it, said Deb,
softly, thinking of the crack of it that
she had seen between two houses for
fifteeu years. For the crack seemed
to her very much like tilteen years in
... .. ... i i i
a high chair, and tne long, Droan
shouldered, silvered river seemed to
her very much like this world about
which she had wondered.
They rode to the mills, and Deb
trembled to look up to their frowuing
walls, and to meet their hundred eyes;
but some of the girls who wore the lit
tle pink bows, and who knew her,
came nodding to look out of them, and
she left off trembliug to laugh ; then,
in a minute, she trembled again, for,
all at once, without any warning, the
great Androscoggin bell pealed the
time just over her head, aud swallowed
her up in sound. She turned pale
with delighted terror, and then finish
ed with terrified delight.
Did it pray, or cry, or laugh ? Deb
diil not know. It seemed to her that
if the white horse would carry her in
to the great heart of that bell, she
never need sit in a high chair at a
window again, but ride and ride with
the young lady. It seemed to her
like forever and forever.
They turned away from Androscog
gin without speaking, and rode and
rode. Daylight dimmed, and dusk
dropped, and see! all the town blazed
with lights. They rode and rode to
see the lights. Deb could not speak,
there were so many lights.
And still she could not speak when
they rode iuto Brick Alloy, and Jim
McMahouey and her mother, and the
children wlio did not wonder, came
nut to meet her aud take her back to
her iii"h chair.
bho was too happy to sneak. ho
f w
need never wonder any more. She
cotild remember.
But the young lady did not want
her to speak. She touched her white
horse and was gone in a minute ; and
when-Androscoggin bell rang them to
sleep that night for the young lady
forgot to ask for her Cluny, and was
too tired to go to the party I urn
sure I cannot tell which was the hap
pier, she or Deb.
A II.lPI'V-HO-I.lt'KY KMH'II AHDEN.
Says tho Kansas City Times : Kan
sas City, as well as most other cities,
has, within the pnst few years, devel
oped several cases of double marriage
of the Enoch Arden typo. The latest
instance of this kind has been brought
to light within the past week. The
circumstances connected with if, as
related to a Times reporter, are about
as follows; or seven years ago
Mr. Culvert and lils '.ife, with ono
child, then a babe, lived at Missouri
City, on the opposite banks of the
river, a few miles below this city. This
man and wife, as is usually the case
with newly married people, had their
little ups and downs, their spats and
quarrels life with them was not all
suushine, but was mixed with a fair
amount of blustering stormy weather.
During one of their domestic inisun
slandings, when words were running
high, and blows seemed imminent, Mr.
Culvert suddenly packed .his knap
sack and departed for parts unknown,
leaving Mrs. C. full possession, with the
additional gratification of having the
last word. From that time until a
week or two past Mr. C. was never
seen by those who knew him except on
one occasion a year or two after he
left, when he passed through Missouri
City on the cara aud was seen by his
vife, but gave ber no sign of recogni
tion. About three years ago Mrs. Culvert
believing herself deserted forever by
her husband, and he without doubt
dead and buried, married a Mr.
Brown, to whom she had become great
ly attached, and with him and her
child, now about four years old, came
to this city to live. Her second mat
rimonial venture proved to be a sue
cestui oue, and the twain lived to
gether in harmony and happiness, and
were blessed with children. Their
present residence is on the corner of
Sixth street nnd Grand avenue. Last
week, while tho family were at break
fast, there came a knock at the door,
and in walked Mr. C, the original No.
1 husband. The No. 2 husband recog
nized turn nt once, and turning very
pale, began to make for the back door,
intending to beat a retreat. iSo. 1
comprehending at a glance the condi
tion of things, begged No. 2 to remain,
saying that nobody but himself was to
blame tor the present state of affairs
Meanwhile Mrs. Culvert-Brown fell to
embracing and kissing her first hus
band. Alter the urst excitement was
over and quiet was restored, Mr. B.
asked Mr. C. to breakfast with them,
and they all sat down and finished
their meal, not, however, without many
sly and embarrassing glances from all
parties toward each other. After
full explanation had ensued, the twice
married lady decided to chug to Mr,
Urown, witb whom she had passed sev
cral happy years. Mr. Culvert if
however, treated as a member of the
family, brings sweetmeats to the chil
dren of both, aud takes grat delight
iu relating his experience by land and
sea, as he has during his absence wan
dered the world over and visited many
foreign muds. Like a sensible L.noch
Arden, he docs nut propose to pine bis
life away for joys departed, but to en
joy all that is left for him of his for
mer domestic happiness.
DEACON KMITII'M IIOKM12 MTOUV.
Deacon Smith, of Georgia, owns, or
did owe, a horso, which at one time in
its life saved him an incalculable
amount of money by its horse sense.
The deacon says himself and wile,
while partaking of their noonday meal,
were very much surprised at tho ac
tions of their horse, which was loose
in the road near the house. It would
run up to the gate, neigh vociferously,
aud then run off agtun. This was re
peated several times, and the deacon
arose from the table to ascertain tho
cause of it strange conduct. He
reached the door aud looked out, and
saw away off in tho direction the
horse had run a dense smoke. Ho
seized his hat and ruu to the place.
"Gentlemen," said he, "lightning had
struck a tree and let it on fire, and
the flames had communicated to the
fence around my corn field, contain
ing about six hundred bushels of corn.
The fire had consumed about a dozeu
panels of luuciug, aud reached a
branch. My horse, when I arrived,
was standing in this branch, dipping
her tail iuto the water, and throwing
the water on ti e burning fence." Tho
crowd looked incredulous, and the
deiicou said : "Gentl emeu, it you
don't believe it, you ask Mahuly."
A PItillT FOB A NC'Al.P.
The Salt Lake Tribune says : Too
attraction was an Indian, accompanied
by his squaw, and Al Huntington.
Brigham s great interpreter, perambu
lating the streets together. The Buttle-Ax
had a white woman's scalp, with
very long black luiir, attached to the
hilt of a sword by his side. The scalp
is nearly as large over as the crown of
man s hat, is lined with red flnunal
and decorated with an eagle's feather.
The hair is fino, and about two feet
long, evidently Hint of a voung wo
man. Dr. lliggtns, who has in his
time been called to witness the sicken
ing butcheries of the redskins, saw
the scalp a? ho walked to Main street.
and, when the remembrances of In
dian outrages flashed across his miud,
his blood boiled with indignation to
see the populace gaze calmly upon tho
trophy of a heartless deed, and allow -the
perpetrator thereof to flaunt it in
their faces. Husbands and brothers
had no response for the doctor when
he appealed to them to stand shoulder
to shoulder with him while he took the
scalp from the Indian, for, knowiHg
that the isatlle-Ax was the guest of
Brigham, he fully realised that the
minions of the priesthood would in
terfere on behalf of Lo, when the scalp
should be taken from him. A deputy
marshal said that the doctor did not
have the "sand" to attempt it. but
when an interpreter asked the Indian
if the scalp was that of a white woman
he was answered iu thealurmative. lite-
gins did not wait for the boys to co
operate with him, but sailed in on his
muscle aud captured the scalp. A
general street fight was imminent, -for
the Gentiles rallied to liiggins like
men, to prevent Huntington and his
crowd carrying out their threats, but
the major part of publio sentiment
was with liiggins, who marched oft'
victorious. The scalp, doubtless, has
an interesting, not to say -bloody his
tory. n III.OWN FltO.1I A TRAIN.
One of the most remarkable escapes
on record, says the Worcester (Mass.)
Spy, was that of a passenger on tho
fast express Monday. Soon after the
train passed Charlcton he attempted
to go from one car to another, and the
terrible wind actually blow him from
the platform. The horrified brakeman
who saw the man go overboard like a
leaf in a gale, pulled the signal cord,
and the train was stopped after run
ning about an eighth of a mile. The
brakeman sprang from the car and ran
down the track with a red flag, when,
wonderful to tell, he met the man run
ning to overtake the train, and appar
ently chiefly troubled' lest the passen
gers should he inconvenienced by the
detention. He got on at the rear of tho
train and tun do his way quickly to
the seat which he had left, and sat
quietly ' down. His wifo turned to
him and remarked : "Why, they say
a man was blown from the train just
now?'' "Is that so?" said he. Pres
ently a numher of interested passen
gers, who had followed him to his
place, asked so earnestly after his wel
fare, that the true state of the case
dawned upon his wife, and she ex
claimed: "Why, was it for -you the
train stopped?" And he had to tell
her.
Glasgow, in Scotland, clairaB to
have the tallest chimney in the world. 1
The total height from foundation to
top of coping is 468 feet, and from
ground line to summit, 454 feet; out
side diameter at foundation, fifty foot;
at ground surface, thirty-two feet, and
at top of coping, nearly eighteen feet.
The numbtr of bricks used in the
erection was 1,400,000. equal in
weight to 7,000 tons. When within
five feet of completion, the chimney,
was struck by a gale from the notheast
which caused it to sway seven feet
nine inches off the perpendicular, and
it stood several feet less in height than
before it swayed. To bring back the
colossal shaft to its true vertical posi- '
tion, "sawing back" had to be resort
ed to, four men working at a time saw
ing, aud two pouring water on the
taws. The work was dono from the
inside. Holes were first punched
