"I scarcely hear," she murmured,
"For my heart beats load and fast,
Bat surely, in the far, far dirtanw,
I can hear a sound at last "
"It is only the reapers singing,
AB they carry home their shearos;
And the evening breeze has rhea,
And males the dying leaves."
"Listen! there are voices talking,"
Calmly still she strove to speak,
Yet her voice grew faint and trembling,
And the red dashed in her cheek.
" It is only the children playing
Below—now their work to done,
And they laugh that their eyes arc daz.z`.el
By the rays of the setting sun."
Fainter grew her voice, and weaker,
A+, with anxious eyes, she cried,
'• Dcwn . the avenno of chestnnts
I can hear a Lerseman ride."
•' It was un:y the deer that were freding
In a herd on the clover grew;
Tl.ey were startled, and that to the thicket
As they saw the reapers pasa•"
New the night arose to silence,
Birds iey In their leafy ue,t,
And the deer couched In the torest,
And the children were at rest.

But rest to the weary spirit,

THE LION HUNT.
Before entering into a description of the
mode of chase adopted with regard to this
formidable animal, we may give the reader
some insight into the make and character
of the lion, and more particularly the lion of
Africa
The lion, which is usually considered the
strongest of the cat hind, is generally dis
tinguished by its uniform yellow color, the
tuft at the end of the tail, and the mane
covering the head and shoulders of the male.
Cuvier says that it is the most courageous of
the animals of prey; and he adds, that,
spread, at one time, over all the parts of the
ancient world, it would appear at the present
day that it is pearly confined to Africa,
and some neighboring parts of Asia.
The "King of the Forest," as applied to
the lion, appears to be a misnomer: for it is
an animal that is never met except on the
plains, and generally in the deserts. The
parts where it seeks shelter seem not in any
case to be the forest, but the low cover that
creeps along the sides of rivers, the patches
that mark the springs or the rank grass of the
valley.
Of the strength of the African lion many
extraordinary stories are on record. It is
a feat of no difficulty to this powerful brute
to carry off a man• '
of this horrible fact, there
arc many dismal accounts. A lion of the
Cape of Good Hope or of Senegal will seize
a heifer in his mouth, and though the legs
drag along the ground, carry her off with
the same ease that a cat dop a rat, leaping
over a broad dyke with her without the least
apparent effort. It will convey a horse a
mile from the spot where lie has killed it.
On one occasion a lion that had carried off
a two-year old heifer was followed on the
track, or spout, for five hours by housemen,
when it appeared that throughout the whole
distance the carcass of the heifer was only
once or twice disovered to have touched the
ground. After such demonstrations of
strength the asportations of man sink into
insignificance; and there is an idea prevail
ing in Africa that the human race is the fa
vorite prey of the lion.
Travelers, however, rssert that the gene
ral prey of the African lion are the larger
herbiverous quadrupeds, and that there are
very few of them that it cannot master. It
is, consequently, a severe scourge to the
farmers, who . are ever on the look out for his
approach in a search after their cows and
horses, oxen and sheep. If they have the
good fortune to see him coming, he will, in
nine cases out of ten, slink back and walk
off quietly; and if no cover is near and he is
not pursued, he gradually mends his pace
to a trot, till he has reached a good distance,
and then he bounds away.
The demeanor of lions on such occasions
is of a careless disposition, as if they did not
want a fray, but if pressed, are ready to fight
it out. If they are pursued closely, they
turn and couch, generally with their faces
to the adversary; then the nerves of the
sportsman are tried. If he is collected and
master of. his craft, the well-directed rifle
ends the scene at once; but if in the flutter
of the moment, the vital parts are missed,
or the ball passes by, leaving the lion un
hurt, the infuriated beast frequently charges
on his enemies, dealing destruction around
him. • This, lidwever, is not always the case,
and a steady unshrinking deportment has,
in more instances than oue, saved the life of
the hunter.
Indeed a timely recovery of self-possession
has saved a man when, seized with panic,
he has fled and been pursued by-a lion.
One day, a Dutchman, Jacob Kok of Zee
hoe river, at the Cape of Good Hope, wa/2-
ing over his lands with a loaded gun, unex
pectedly met a lion. Heing an excellent
shot, and a cool sportsman who seldom fail
ed of using his rifle with effect, he thought
himself pretty certain from the position in
which he was, of killing it, and therefore
fired his piece. Unfortunately he did not
recollect that the charge had been in it for
soma time, and consequently was damp; so
that his piece hung fire, and the ball falling
short, entered the ground close to the lion.
In ccnsequence of this the worthy Dutch
man was siezed with a panic, and took di:
reetly to his heels; but being soon out of
breath and closely pursued by the lion, Ja
cob Kok jumped upon a little heap of stones,
and there made o' stand, presenting the butt
end of his gun to his adversary, fully resolv
ed to defend his life as well as he could to
the utmost. This deportment had such an
effect on his pursuer, that the lion also made
a stand, and lay down at the distance of a
few paces from the heap of stones, seeming
ly quite unconcerned. Jacob, in the mean
time, did not stir from the spot+ besides he
had in his flight unfortunately dropped his
powder born. At length, after waiting a
good half hour the lion rose up, and at first
went very slowly, and step by step only, as
if he had a mind to steal off; but as soon as
he got to a greater distance, to the great re
lief of Jacob Kok, he began to bound away
at a great rate.
A traveler
gives the following interest
ing account in his "Wanderings in Afri
ca," of his confronting one of these ani
mals:—
-The day was exceedingly pleasant, and
there was not a cloud to be seen. For a
mile or two we traveled along the banks of
the river; which, in this part, abounded in
tall mat-rushes. The dogs seeemed much
to enjoy prowling about, and examining
every bushy place. At last they met with
some object i mong the bushes which caus
ed them to set up a most vehement and de•
termined barking. We explored the spet

PITTSBURGH. MONDAY, JULY 26, ,18.58
culiar tone of their bark, that it was what
we found it out to be—lions.
"Having encouraged the dogs to drive
them out,—a task which they performed
with great unwillingness—we had a full
view of an enormous black•tailed lion and
lioness.
"The elatter was seen only for a minute,
as she made her escape up the river, under
the concealment of the rushes: but the lion
came steadily forward, and stood still to look
at us.
"At this moment we felt our situation
not free from danger, as the animal seemed
preparing to spring upon us, and we were
standing on the bank at the distance of only
a few yards front him, most of us being on
foot and unarmed, withont any visible pos
sibility of escaping. I had given up my
horse to the hunters, and was on foot my
self; but there was no time for fear, and it
was useless to attempt avoiding him.
"I stood well upon my guard, holding
my pistols in my hand, with my finger on
the trigger: and those who had muskets
kept themselves prepared in the same man
ner.
"But at tiii:: instant the dogs boldly flew
in between u: and the lion, and surround-
jog him, kept him at bay by-their violent
and resolute barkin! , . The courage of these
faithful animals was most admirable: they
advanced up to the side of die huge beast
and stood making the greatest clamor in his
face without the least appearance of fear.
The lion, conseion?, of his strength, remain
ed unmoved at their noisy attempts, and
kept his head turned towards us. At one
moment, the dor , perceiving his eye thus
engaged, had advanced close to his feet, and
seemed as if they would actually seize
hold of him; but they paid clearly for their
imprudence, for, without discomposing the
majestic and lofty attitude in which he stood
used, he merely moved his paw, and at the
next instant I beheld two lying dead.
"in doing this, he made so little exertion,
that it was scarcely perceptible by what
means they had been killed.
"Of the time which we gained by the in
terference of the dogs, not a moment was
lost. We tired upon him; one of the balls
went through his side, just between the short
ribs, and the blood began to flow; but the
animal still remained standing in the same
position. We had now no doubt he would
spring upon us—every gun was instantly re
loaded; but happily we were mistaken, and
were not sorry to see him move quietly a
away,
though I had hoped in a few minutes
to have been enabled to take hold of his paw
without danger."
There is hardly a book of African travels
which does not teem with the dangers and
hair-breadth escapes of the lion hunters; and
hardly one that does not include a fatal is
sue to some engaged in this hazardous sport.
We give the following details of a lion hunt
from the note-book of a traveler:
"We at length arrived on the confines of
an immeasurable desert—an immense plain,
extending like an ocean. Not a tree—nor
a shrub—nor a blade of grass, was to be seen;
but all appeared like an extreme fine sand,
mixed with gold dust and little sparkling
pearls.
"As we proceeded on our way over this
inhospitable plain, exposed to the perpen
dicular rays of a burning sun, we came to
an oasis of groves and woods, and through
the carpet of verdure rolled a rivulet. Here
a lion, which had been crouching among the
reeds which bordered this stream, sprang
upon one of our company. Luckily for the
man he missed him; for if he had succeeded
in flying upon him he would have torn him
to pieces; but knowing, that he had no hope
of safety but by flight, , fled accordingly.—
But being very unlike the tiger, he went off
slowly, and in a very sullen 'manner, giving
us time to mount our horses; and one of the
party firing at him struck him with a ball.
He, thereupon, began exhibiting great bold
ness, standing iv if preparing to resist us.
"A Frenchman, infinitely more courage
ous than he was strong, or expert in the
chase, made an attack upon him with a lance
which he broke, and would infallibly have
been torn amg killed, had it not been for a
slave, who, seeing his danger, came prompt
ly to his succour, and pierced, with a blow
of his dagger, the lion already wounded by
his master."
Of all the ~a mes in Africa and the East,
the hunting of the lion is infinitely the most
dangerous kind ot sporting About a hun
dred years ago it was the most royal, be
cause there was then none but the king and
princes that could exercise it, except by a
very particular leave.
When the king was in the field, and the
hunting guards had discovered the place of
the lion's retirement, they tied fast an ass in
the neighborhood, which the lion soon came
to devour; and after having partaken large
of the animal, returned to his ordinary lodg
ing place, where he lay down and slept un
til next morning,, when he found another
ass in the same place. When the king's
hunting guards had thus baited and amus
ed him for several days, they tied fast an
other ass, which they had made swallow a
quantity of opium, in order that his flesh
might lull the lion asleep, and then all the
people in the villages round about spread
large and strong nets. All things being
thus prepared, the king mounted on an ele
phant trapped in iron, attended by his great
hunting master—abundance of men on
horseback—and a numerous hunting guard
on foot, approached the nets, and shot at the
lion with a great musket. Finding himself
wounded, the lion rushed, of course tow -
ards the elephant, but met with the big nets
which stopped him The king then shot
at him till he killed him.
Suoh was the mode of hunting the lion in
India a hundred years ago; but now there
is no particular privilege attached to the
shooting of it, and the English residents are
its commonest assailants.
As an instance of this, we give the fol
lowing interesting description of a lion hunt
near Kaira in Bombay.
Some sporting gentlemen of that place
being informed that three lions had been
discovered in a small jungle two miles from
Beereije, immediate preparations were made
to assemble a large party, and to proceed to
chase them from thence.
Immediately, accounts were received that
the size and ferocity of the animals had
struck a panic into the adjacent villages,
that six of the natives who had unwarily ap
proached their haunts had been torn and
mangled, and left to expire in the greatest
agonies, and that it was no longer safe for
the inhabitants to proceed to the ordinary
occupations of husbandry, or to': urri ont
their cattle to pasture, as several of them
had been hunted down and killed.
These accounts only stimulated the Brit
ish. Nimrods; and a party of 1f gentlemen
1,1 - 1.4 , 4 t
having assembled, and proceeded to the scene
of action accompanied by a body of armed
peons from A daulet and revenue depart
ments. The guides took them to the pre
cise spot where the three lions were repo
sing in state. The party advanced with
due caution to within a few paces of the
jungle without disturbing the residents. A
momentary pause, big with expectation, suc
ceeded.
At that instant, three dogs which had joi
ned the hunt unconscious of danger, appro
ached the very threshold of the piesiqtre,
and were received with such a sepulchral
growl, as for the moment made " the bray-
est hold his breath." One of the dogs
was killed, the other two fled and were seen
DO more.
Presently a lioness was indistinctly obser
ved at the mouth of the den; a few arrows
were discharged with a view to irritate her,
and induce her to make an attack on her as
sailants; but this did not succeed, as she
broke cover in an opposite direction, with
two cubs about two-thirdS grown. The par
ty pursued the fugitives on foot as far as
the nature of the ground, which was newly
plowed would admit; when suddenly one of
the men who had been stationed in the trees
called out to the gentlemen to be on their
guard. This arrested their progress. They
turned on one side to some bights, when
they descried an enormous lion approaching
them. through an open field at an easy can
ter, and lashing his tail in a style of indes
cribable grandeur
The foremost of the party presented their
pieces and fired, just as the animal had clear
ed, at one bound, a chasm which was be
tween them of twelve feet broad. He was
apparently wounded on the _shoulder, but
sprang, nevertheless, on a gentleman whose
arm he lacerated dreadfully; and feeling at
the same time, a peon's lance, he relinquish
ed his first hold, seized the poor fellow by
the throat, and strangled him before they
dared fire, lest they should kill his vic
tim.
He was now at ba!,', but sheltered in such
a manner as rendered it difficult to bring
him down, when suddenly the man on the
look-out gave another shout of alarm, and
almost immediately the party perceived a
lioness which had broken cover, approach
ing, their rear.
The same instant their ears were asstil
ed by the shrieks and yells of men, women
and children, occasioned by the animal
crossing the road in the midst of the cool
ies that were carrying'tiffin to the village.
A woman and a child were almost instant
ly sacrificed to her fury. The woman was
literally torn to pieces.
This proved not the last calamity of this
memorable hunt.
The gentlemen with the peons, left their
former enemy to attack the lioness who threa
tened the village The party, from the ra
pid manner in which the beast was followed,
were not able to keep very compact; and
most unfortunately, four of iike collector's
peons advanced upon the plat e where the
lioness had lain down. She immediately
sprang upon the nearest, arid brought him
to the ground, crushing leis skull and tear
ing his face so that no feature Wa3 discern
able, and the skin literally hung in the wind.
A companion who advanced to his assist
ance was seized by the thigh; in the agony
of pain he caught the beast by the throat,
when she quitted his thigh and fastened oil
his arm and breast.
At this moment the gentlemen advanced
within fifteen paces, and as she was still
standing over her unfortunate victim lodg
ed twenty balls in her body. She retreat
ed to the hedge, where some more shots ter
minated her existence. She had abund-
:ince of milk, which, from the novelty, most
of the party tasted.
Both of the peons died within a few
THE POT OF GOLD.
Deacon Bancroft, though a very good
man in the main, and looked up to with res
pect by all the inhabitants of the village of
Centreville, was rumored to have, in Yan
kee parlance, "a pretty, sharp eye in the
main chance"—a peculiarity from which dea
cons are always exempt.
In worldly matters he was decidedly well
to do, having inherited a fine farm from his
father, which was growing yearly more val
uable. It might be supposed that under
these circumstances, the deacon who was
fully able to do so, would have found a help
meet to share his house and name. But
the deacon was wary. Matrimony was to
him in some measure a matter o' money,
and it was his firm resolve not to marry un
less he could thereby enhance his worldly
prosperity. Unhappily the little village of
Centreville and the town in the immediate
vicinity contained few who were qualified
' in thi: important particular, and of those
there were probably none with whom the
cleat ,n's suit would have prospered.
it hapened*iat year after year passed
away, until Deac6l Bancroft was in the
prime of life—forty-five or thereabouts—
and still unmarried, and in all human prob
ability likely to remain so.
Deacon Bancroft's nearest neighbor was
a widow.
The Widow Wells, who had passed thro'
one matrimonial experience, was some three
or four years younger than Deacon Ban
croft. She was still quite a comely woman.
Unfortunately the late Mr. Wells had not
been able to leave her sufficient to make her
independent of the world.—• All that she
possessed was the small, old fashioned house,
in which she lived, and a small amount of
money, which was insufficient to support
her and a little son of seven; though hard
ly to be classed as 'productive' of anything
but mischief. The widow was therefore
obliged to take three or four boarders, to
eke out her sa.nty income, which of cernrse
imposed upon her, c o nsiderable labor and
anxiety.
Is it surprising then that under these cir
cumstances she should now and then have
bethought herself of a second marriage, •as
a method of bettering her condition ?
again, need we esteem it a special wonder,
if, in her reflections upon this point, she
would have cast her eyes upon her neigh
bor, Deacon Bancroft. The deacon, as we
have already said, was in flourishing cir
cumstances. He would be able to main
tain a wife in great comfort, and being one
of the chief personages in the village, could
accord her a prominent social position. --
He was not especially handsome, or cal
culated to make a profound impression upon
the female heart--this was true—but he
was of good disposition, kind hearted, and
would no aonbt make a very good sort of a
husband. A desirable match.
Some sagacious person ; however, ha 4 ob-
served that it takes two to make a match, a
fact to be seriously considered; for in the
present case it' was exceedingly doubtful
whether the worthy deacon, even if he had
known the favorite opinion of his text
neighbor, would have been inclined to' pro
pose changing her name to,Bancroft, unless,
indeed, a suitable motive was brought in
to bear'upon. Here was a chance for fin
essing.
One evening, after a day of fatiguing la
bor, the widow Wells sat at the fire in her
sitting room, with her feet resting upon the
fender.
"If I ever am so situated as not to have
to work so hard," she murmured, " I shall
be happy. It' s a hard life keeping board
ers. If I was only as well off as Deacon
Ban croft.
Still the widow kept up her thinking, and
by and by her face brightened up. She
had an idea which she resolved to put into
execution at the very earliest practical mo
ment. What it was the reader will discov
er in the sequel
"Henry," said she to her son, the next
morning, "I want you to stop at Deacon
Bancroft's as you go along to school, and
ask him if he will call and see me in the
course of the morning or afternoon just as
he finds it most convenient."
Deacon Bancroft was a little surprised
at the summons. However, about 11 o'clock
he called in.
The widow had got on the dinner, and
had leisure to sit down. She appeared a
little embarassed.
"Henry told me that you would like to
see me," the deacon commenced.
"Yes, Deacon Bancroft, I do, but I am
much afraid you will think .strange of it—
at least of what I mean to say to you.
The deacon very politely promised not to
be surprised, though at the same time his
curiosity was visibly excited.
"Suppose," said the widow. casting down
her eyes--"mind I am only supposing a
case—suppose a person should find a pot of
gold piece= in his cellar, would the law have
a right to touch it, or would it belong to
them ?"
The deacon pricked up his ear.
"A pot of gold pieces widow? Why, un , .
questionably, the law would have nothing
to do with it."
"And the one who had formerly owned
he house couldn't come forward and claim
it, could he; deacon!" inquired the widow
with apparent anxiety.
"No madam, unquestionably not. When
the house was disposed of everything went
with it."
"I am glad to hear it, deacon. You wont
think strange of the question, but it hap
pened to occur in my mind, and I thought
I would like to have it satisfied."
"Certainly, widow, certainly," said the
deacon abstractedly.
"And. deacon, as you are here, I hope
you will stay to dinner with me. It will be
ready punctually at twelve."
"Well, no," said the deacon, rising; "I am
much ibleeged to ye, but they'll be expect
ing me home.;
"At any rate deacon," said the widow,
taking a steaming mince pie from the oven,
"you must know that I pride myself on my
mince pies."
The warm pie sent forth such a delicious
odor, that the deacon was sorely tempted,
and after saying, 'Well,' with the intention
of refusing, he finished by saying, "On the
whole, I guess I will, as it looks so nice."
The widow was really a good cook, and
the deacon ate with much gusto the gener
ous slice which the widow cut for him, and
and after a little more chatting upon unim
portant subjects, he withdrew in some men
tal perplexity.
"Was it possible," thought he, "that the
widow could really have found a pot of gold
in her cellar? She did not say so much to
be sure, but why should she show so much
anxiety to know as to the proprietorship of
treasure thus found; if she had not happen
ed upon some?"
To be sure, so far as his knowledge ex
tended, there was no one who occupied the
house who would be in the least likely to
lay up such an amount of gold; but then the
house was one hundred and fifty years old,
at the very least, and, undoubtedly, had
many occupants of whom he knew nothing.
It might be, after all. The widow's earnest
desire to have him think it was only curios
ity, likewise gave additional probability to
the supposition.
"I will wait and watch thought the dea-
It so happened that Deacon Bancroft was
one of the Directors of the Savings Institu
tion, situated in the next tawn, and accord
ingly used to ride over there once or twice
a month to attend the meetings of the
board.
On the next occasion of this kind, the
widow Wells sent over to/know if he would
carry her over with him, as she had a little
business to attend to there.
The request was readily accorded. Ar
rived in the village, Mrs. Wells requested
to be set down at the bank.
"Ha, hal" thought the deacon, that
means something."
lie said nothing however, but determin
ed to c'3ine back, and find out as he could,
readily from the cashier; what business - she
had with the bank.
The widow tripped, into the office, pre
tending to look indifferAnt.
"Can you give me small bills for a five
dollar
,gold piece.?"
"With pleasure," was the reply.
"By the way," said she, "the bank is in
a flourishing condition, is it not?"
"None in the state is on better footing,"
was the prompt response.
"You receive deposits, do you not?"
"Yes, madam, we are receiving them ev
ery day."
"Do you receive as high as five thousand
dollars?"
"No," said the cashier, with some sur
prise,-"rather we do not allow interest on so
large a sum. One thousand dollars is our limit
Did you know of any who—"
"It is of no consequence' said the widow,
hurriedly; "I only asked for curiosity. By
the way, did you say how much interest you
allowed ontuch deposits as came within
your limit?"
"Five per cent, madam."
"Thank you, I only asked for curiosity.
What a beautifnl morning it is!"
The widow tripped lightly out. Shortly
afterwards the deacon entered.
How is business, Mr. Cashier?" he inqui
red.
"About as usual."
"Had any new deposits lately?"
"None of any magnitude."
"I brouaht over a lady this mox fling who
seemed to have business with yotl."
NUMBER 244,
The Widow Wells?'
"Yes"
"Do you know whether she had any mo
ney left her lately?"
"None that I know of," said the deacon,
pricking up his ears. "Why? Did she de
posit any?"
"‘No" replied the cashier, "but she asked
mo whether we receive deposits as high as
five thousand dollars."
"Indeed!" ejaculated the deacon. "Was
that all she came for?" he inquired
meet afterwards.
"No; she exchanged a gold piece for some
"Ha!" pondered the deacon, reflectively,
"did she give you any particular reason for
inquiries?"
"No, she said she only asked for euriosi-
The deacon left the bank in deep thought.
He came to'the conclusion that this 'curios
ity' only veiled a deeper motive. He no
longer entertained a doubt that the widow
had'actually found a pot of gold in her cel
lar, and appearances seemed 'to indicate that
its probable- value was equal to five thous
and dollars. The gold piece which she had
exchanged at the bank appeared to confirm
this story.
"I rather think," said the deacon, comp
lacently, "I can see into the millstone about
as far as most people'—a statement the lit
eral truth of which I defy any_one to ques
tion, though, as to the prime fact of people's
being able to see into a .millstone• at all,
doubts have now and then intruded them
selves upon my mind.
Next Sunday the Widow Wells appear
ed at Church in a new and stylish bonnet,
which led to some such remarks as these—
How much vanity some people have, to
be sure:"
"How a woman that has to keep board
ers for a living can afford to dash out with
such a bonnet, is more than I can tell! I
should think that she was old enough to
know better."
"I suppose," continued the same lady,
"she's trying to catch a husband with her
finery. Before I would condescend to such
means I'd—l'd drown myself."
In this last amiable speech the young la
dy had unwittingly hit upon the true mo
tive. The widow was intent upon catching
Deacon Bancroft, and she indulged in a
costly bonnet, not beacuse she supposed he
would be caught with finery, but because
this would strengthen in his mind the idea
that she had stumbled upon hidden wealth.
The widow had calculated shrewdly, and
the display had the effect she had anticipa
ted.
Menday afternoon, Deacon Bancroft
found an errand that called him over to the
widow's. It chanced to be about tea time.
He was importuned to stay to tea, and, sole
what to his surprise actually did.
The politic widow, who knew the deacon's
weak point, brought on one of her best
mince pies, a slice of which her guest par
took of with zest.
"You'll take another piece, I know;" said.
she persuasively.
"Really I am ashamed," said the deacon,
and he passed his plate. "The fact is,"
said he apologetically, "your pies are so nice
I don't know when to stop.
"Do you call these nice" said the widow
modestly, "I only call them common. I
can make mince pies when I set out to,
but this time I did not have as good luck
as usual."
,"I should not want any better," said the
deacon enphatieally.
"Then I hope if you like them, you'll
drop in to tea often. We ought to be more
neighborly, Deacon Bancroft:"
Deacon Bancroft assented, and he meant
what he said. The fact is that Deacon
Bancroft began to think that the widow
was a very charming woman. She was ve
ry comely, and then she was such an excel
lent cook! Besides he had no doubt in his
own mind that she was worth a considerable'
sum of money. What. objection would
there be to becoming Mrs. Bancroft? He
brought this question before her one even
ing. The widow blushed—professed to be
greatly surprised—in fact she had never
thought of the thing in her life—but on
the whole, she had always thought highly of
the deacon and to cut the matter short ac
cepted him.
A month afterwards she was installed as
mistress of the deacon's large house, some
what to the surprise of the village people,
who could not conceive how she had brought
him over.
Some weeks after the ceremony, the dea
con ventured to inquire about the pot of
gold which she had found in the cellar.
"But," said the deacon , disconcerted,
"you know you asked me whether the law
could claim it.
"0, lor f . deacon, I only asked from curi-
osity"
•'And was that the reason you made in
quiries at the bank?"
"Why certainly. What else could it
have been?"
The deacon went out into the barn, and
for.about half an hour sat in silent medita
tion. At the end of that time he ejacttlat
e,d as a consideration, after all she makes
good mince pies!"
It ;gives me pleasure to state that the union
between the deacon and the widow prov
ed a very happy one, although to the end
of his life he never could quite make up his
mind about "That Pot of Gold.,'
