THE EXPERIMENT.
Mr. Herbert De Browne sat in his lux
urious bachelor establishment in Blank
street, and pondered deeply. The sub
ject of his cogitations was a wife, or rather
how to gat one. There were enough
young ladies who would be glad to bless
their lucky stars for the privilege of be
coming mistress of his home, as he well
knew; but he also - felt tolerably well as
sured the home was all they cared for.—
For the fortune they would wed its owe
er.
"Duce take the money !" he exclaim
ed ; "I wish I'd never had a farthing
and then But botheration, then I
should have been too poor to marry any
way. Why couldn't I have had just
wealth enough for all my wants and
nothing more ? I'll foil them, though,
the mean adventuresses 1"
A furious pull at the bell-rope brought
the house-kee••er to tha room in a hurry.
"Pack up your traps, • Mrs. Rinkle, he
exclaimed, abruptly, "for I am going to
close the house."
It was evident he had come to some
conclusion. .
"Shut up the house, Mr. De Bro wne!"
ejaculated the housekeeper, almost believ
ing she had lost her reason. "Why, such
a thing has not occured since your lament
ed uncle took possession five and forty
years ago."
"That makes no difference, ma'am; I'm
master here now, and .1 shall close it for
the present. Meanwhile,. your pay can
still go on, and that of such d mestics
as you consider indispensabld. Have you
no relatives you wish to visit I" he inqui
red.
That settled it. The proffer of contin
ued pay removed Mrs. ilinkle'e scruples
effectually. She then remembered she .
had some friends she bad not seen for
years. '
Three days later,
Mr. Herbert De
Browne was safely domiciled in aquiet
lodging-house, and shortly afterwards, be
began to sell his diamond rings and seals,
and other, paraphernalia of fassionable
life, as well as dress, himself in plainer
clothes. A rumor that his property had
been lost through an unlucky specula
tion was soon afloat.

*AYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY,. PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1871.
Had this adversity been real, he would
not have felt like laughing.
Then came the time when this circle of
acquaintances got narrowed down to three.
But three of his former friends still clung
to him, true in adversity.
It was no wonder he grew misanthrop
ic.
Out in the street, he met a carriage,
containing some of his former acquain
tance, who had been absent from the city
since he had closed his house. Re thought
they would not notice him ; but each in

"They have not heard the news!" he
muttered, cynically. • •
"Rather close quarters, my friend," he
said, as he took a calm survey of Her

De Browne, icily. "But since I lost my
property—of which I suppose you haven't
heard—l have become quite economical?"
"But I have heard 1" cried his auditor,
abruptly ; "and this is why I came : I

iierbert looked him over closely. John
Brandard was a wealthy man—very weal

was nothing to warrant the suspicion that
he had learned Herbert's secret, and wish
ed to curry favor, sidle him while under

ed him, and accepted.
Once cosily snuggled in the Brandard

She did not seem to be above him, not
withstanding:the wide difference in their
positions, and treated him as cordially—
more cordially, he thought—than before
the change in his fortunes.
He would not have been human had
he not learned to love her.
The climax came when she gave a grand
party. Then, before the elite of the city,
she did not hesitate to receive attentions
from him, on which but one construction
could be placed. He thought her quite
a heroine, and asked for no further proof
that she could love him.
Tne next afternoon, they met in her
father's library, where he had waited to
to see her.
"Susie," he said, as soon as the usual
courtesies had been exchanged, "I come
to you this morning to learn my fate. I
know the difference in our positions, and
would not urge you—only let ' your heart
decide. My heart I lay before you."
She blushed prettily, and seemed confus
ed for a moment ; then she gave him her
hand. '
"I have loved you, oh, so long!' she
said`; "and I feared that you would nev
er love me. You were so jealous before
you lost your wealth that all women were
mere adventuresses. I,wda heartily glad
when papa said you had lost it, and I—"
"You sent him to negotiate with me,"
cried Herbert, finishing the sentence in
tuitively, and giving it labial emphasis.
"I loved you so 1" she murmered de
preciateingly.
"I do not doubt it, dearest !"
And Mr. Herbert de Browne believed
himself the happiest of men.
They were married. The wedding
was yery unpretentious, as became the
bridegroom's straitened circumstances ;
and he in a constant ecstacy as he thought
of her surprise when he should tell her
that his fortune still remained- He sent
for Mrs. Rinkle to come and reopen the
house, and to put it in condition to re
ceive its mistress. Meantime, they tarri
ed at her father's.
"Herbert," said his wife ' one day, "I
have a favor to ask pf you. Will you
grant it P"
"I will, - if in my power, Sue, darling,"
he exclaimed.
"Well, poor papa is rather short of mon
ey : won't you lend him ten or fifteen
thousand dollars 7" •
"Me 1 Why, you know—"
"Oh ! I know what you have been pre
tending," was the quick reply.--="But then
it wasn't so •, you never lost your money."
"Herbert Deßrowne was dumb with as
tonishment and chagrin.
"How did they find that out he gasp
ed.
"I knew it all the time. When I
heard that you was penniless,
papa went
directly to your banker, and learned the
contrary. I think, we managed pretty
well."
"I think you did," cried her husband,
desperately; but do you think I'll endure
it?"
"How can you help yohrself? We
are married now. You can't apply for a
diVorce."
"Na, I can't, but—"
"Then Qat will you do ?"
"Answer - me one question: Do you
really love me?"
"Yes , I do."
"Well, ifyou love me, we will drop the
subject."
"I - think you'd better," she said, quiet•
say ; "and lend papa'the money."
And, like a sensible man, he lent it.
The Hearth and Home says :• The ora
cles of the human soul speak in favor of
the purity and perpetuity of marriage.—
Men may forsake the oracles and build
socialismst ut of their own fancies. It.ia
all the worse for them. But the intuitions,
the 'loves, the moral influences of the
race are on the aide of marriage."

Taking Things Without Asking.
When I was a boy, I was playing out
in the street one winter's day, catching
rides on sleighs, and it was great fun.—
Boys would rather catch rides any day
than go out regularly and properly to
take a drive. As I am catching on to
one sleigh and to another, sometimes hav
ing a nice time, and oftentimes getting a
cut from a big black,whip, lat last fas
tened like a barnacle to the_ side of a
Countryman's cutter.
An old gentleman sat alone on the
: 2 • 4.1.
nantly, as I thought, and neither said
anything to me, nor swung his old whip
over me ; so I ventured to climb upon
the side of , his nutter. Another benig
nant look from the countryman, but not
a word. Emboldened by his supposed
goodness, I - N - Foirr - ed - to - tumble - into - th
cutter and take a Seat under the warm
robe beside him, and then he spoke. The
colloquy was as follows
"Young man, do you like to ride?"
“y es r
"It's a pretty nice cutter, isn't it ?"
— "Yes, sicit is, aid a-nice-horse-draw
ing it."
"Did I ask you to get in ?"
"No, sir." _
s • •• 4y did you get in ?"
"Well, sir, II I thought you looks.
so good and kind, and that you would
have no objection." .
"And so, young man, because you you
thought I was good and kind, you took
advantage of that kindness, and took a fa
vor without asking fur it ?"
"Yes, sir."

"Yes, sir." itl/4

a mean advantage of the kindness of oth
ers ; and what is worth having, is worth

into this sleigh without asking me, I shall
tumble you out into that snow-drift with
out asking you."
And out I went, like a shot shov
el, and he didn't make mu _fuss about
it either. I 'picked mys up in a slight
bewildered state, bit I ever forgot that
lesson.
Truthful and Obedient.
Charlie ! Charlie 1" Clear and sweet
as a note struck from a silvery bell, the
voice rippled over the common.
"That's mother," cried one of the boys,
and he instantly threw down his bat, and
picked up his jacket and cap.
"Don't go yet !" "Have it out Fin
ish the game !" Try it again !" cried ..the
players in a noisy chorus:
"I must go—right off—this minute. I
told her I'd come whenever she called.
"Hake her believe you didn't hear !"
them all exclaimed.
"But Idid hear."
•
"She wont know you did."
"But I know it, and—" •
"Let him go," said a bystander. "You
can't do • anything with him. He's tied
to his mother's apron strings."
"That's so," said Charley ; • "and it's
to what every boy ought to be tied ; and
in a bard knot, too."
"But I wouldn't be such a baby 'as to
run the minute she called," said one. s ,
".T. don't call it babyish .to keep one's
word to his mother," answered the obedi
ent boy, a beautiful light glowing in his
blue eyes. "I call that manly ; and the
boy who don't keep his word to her. will
never keep it to any one else—you see if
he does I" - •
and he hurried away to his cottage home.
Thirty years have passed since thde

Running in a Rut.
Small an narrow minds always. run in
ruts.. Large and comprehensive minds
originate ideas and strike 'out original
courses. A monkey can imitate, but it
requires a man of mind—something more
than instinct—to originate. A small mind
ed man may be sharp and shrewd enough
to ,follow and pick up the mental crembis
of a large mind, and turn the same to pro
fitable account. Our longheaded John
Calvin, our broadheaded Martin Luther,
and our highheaded John Wesley, lead
their millions of followers to day. New
ton, Harvey, Fulton and Gall were large
minded men, and made original discover
ies. We; lesser' lights, profit by their
teachings, and follow in their wake. The
only objection to' this "rut fraternity is,
that they oppose measures which, if car
ried out, would result in their good. The
world changes. One season succeeds an
other. Daylight succeeds darkness. One
generation---yee, generation—succeeds an
other. And the world moves. Let us
move with it, Those who oppose will be
run over,
crushed, and left behind the ev
er forward movement. Instead of follow
ing blind and fkllible guides, let us look
to the great Teacher, and follow' Him. Is
our courses through dark and dismal ways?
Light from Heaven, through faith, will
shine on our path and make the way "all
serene" Let us get out of the ruts of i,g
norance, skepticism, Superstition, fear, d.e•
spondency, and spiritual death, and come
up into the open way whose mails are
straight and freeofimpedim: ents,andwhich
are illuminated by the brightness of truth.

Old Maids.
4 quaint and gallant writer some fif
ty years ago said: "I love an old maid
—I use the singular number, as speaking
of a singularity in • humanity. An old
maid is not merely an antiquarian, she is
an antiquity; not merely a record of the
past, but the very past itself; she has es
caped a great change, and sympathizes
not in the ordinary mutation of morality.
She inhabits a little eternity of ' her own.
She is Mai from the begining of the chap
ter to the end. I do. not like to hear
them called Mistress as is sometimes the
practice, for that looks and.sounds like a
resignation of despair,a,volUntary extinc

marriages are made in heaven I some 'peo

old maids are. There is something-about

Truth the Best Policy.
It is related of 'a, Persian mother, on
giving her son forty peiees of silver-as his
portion, that she made him swear never to
tell a lie, and .said : •

_and_we_shall_not_meethere_agam_tilLthe_

The youth went away, and - thw - arty he
traveled with were assulted by robbers.-
Our fzHow-asked=the=boy=what=he=had
and he answered i °"Forty dinars are sew
ed in my garments."
The robber laughed, thinking that the
boy jested. Another asked the same ques
tion, and received the same answer. At
last the chief called him asked him what
he had. The boy replied:
"I have told two of your people alrea
dy that I had forty dinars sewed up in
my clothes."
The chief ordered his clothes to be rip=
ped open, and the money was found.
"And how came you to tell this ?"
"Because," replied the boy, "I would
not be false to my mother, to whoni I prom
ised never to tell a lie."
"Child said the robber, "art thou so
mindful of thy duty to thy mother, and I
am insensible at my age.of the duty I owe
to God? Give me thy hand, that I Tay
swear repentance on it." •
He did so, and his followers were struck
with the scene.
"You have been our leader in guilt,"
they said to the' chief, "be the same in the
path of virtue ;" and, taking the boy's
hand, they took the oath of repentance on
it.

It is not unusual to find that the lead
ing men of our-day outer, or any outer day,
were very unpromising boys. Daniel Web
ster, the acknowledged statesman ofAmer
ica, was notoriously dull when a boy, a
poor scholar in college, and graduated
without honor. Henry Ward - Beecher,
indisputably the Most popular divine in
this country was a fourth-rate scholar when
young and completed his studies without
distinction, except on the play-ground.—
Robert Rantoul stood near the foot of his
class in college. Sir.. Walter Scott was
rather 'a dullard when a boy. Patrick

We may never Know.
We ay never know of the anguish
hidden beneath smiling eyes.
• We may never - know of the weary
hearts beside us"day by day, whose pray
er 'is for strength to wait till God shall say
"Well done." We may sit down at the
same fireside, clasp hand at -the same so
cial band, look into other's faces—none
can see the heart; and who may , tell of
the sad failures--the soul sick, pining for
a Father's hand to lead beside still wa
ters of peace and rest.
Ah ! never till we soar beyond the
stars,and all the tears be wiped from our
eyes, shall we understand thatinscrutable
mystery, the human heart. Ah! despair
not when lite seems hard and dreary; by
and by the shadows will fall, apart—the
fetters that bind us will be dissevered—the
burden be removed, the tired
- hands be
folded, and sleep, with her heaing wings
shall hover over'us, and rest, be won,

grave. Thank God for.the.home beyond
it; and be sure, "when ye awake in his

THR WORLD OVER.—From all parts
of the world we continue to receive tidinv
of destruction of life and property by
flood, fire, and shipwreck. In China, the
storms and floods, of which we have pre
viously had some accounts, are reported
t cihave swept away three thousand persons.
The Bassin. mining town of Bogoslovsk,
in the Uural Mountains, has been burned
by incendiaries; and, in addition to the
great disasters in our own country- alrea
dy chronicled, ve are beginning to receive
accounts of numerous wrecks which. oc-
curred during the late gale along the Lake
and Atlantic coast. At -Halifax, ports
on the St. Lawrence, and on both sides of
the great. Lakes, the devastaiion has been
unusually heavy. These; and the other
great calamities that hive overtaken- us,
are proofs of the helplessness of man, with
all his proud achivements in science,
against the unleas.ed elements
. by which
he is surrounded.
